Beer Scoring

We would like as many members as possible to record the quality of the beer they are drinking in a pub, by submitting a score. The National Beer Scoring Scheme (NBSS) is easy to use and is accessed from each pub's page on the CAMRA web site. We rely on the scores to help us to select pubs for the Good Beer Guide and to monitor beer quality generally. You don't need training to start scoring - your opinion on the beer is just as valuable as someone else's!

Please read the information in this link: http://www.camra.org.uk/nbss

Click CAMRA Beer Scoring Sheet for a downloadable and printable sheet for recording beer scores. You may find this useful if you wish to record your scores while in the pub but input them at a later date.

 

What do the scores mean? See image below.

You can use half scores if you wish, e.g. 2.5 (average to good).

CAMRA members can log into the CAMRA website and enter scores.

We welcome and encourage submissions from members, whether from within our branch or from further afield - it only takes a couple of minutes to score a beer and we're sure there must be some gems out there that we haven't heard about.

Thank you for your help!
