THE IMPORTANCE OF BEER SCORING The Campaign for Real Ale uses The National Beer Scoring System (NBSS) to gain an overview of the beer quality in all of the nation’s pubs, and also to help construct The Good Beer Guide every year. Beer quality is scored using the following criteria: 0: No real ale available at the time of attempting to drink it. 1: Vaguely drinkable if you had a gun pointing at your head. 2: Not bad, but doesn’t inspire you to smile and stroke the glass. 3: Rather good! Another one, please! 4: Very good! Another three, please! 5: Best Pint Ever! Drink the barrel dry. Half marks can also be awarded. It has never been easier to return your beer scores. Simply log on to www.whatpub.com, enter your CAMRA membership number and password, search for the pub you require and enter the relevant beer score in the right hand column. It really is that easy! What could be more satisfying than knowing you have influenced the construction of the nation’s leading pub guide? AUTUMN 2016 <strong>POTTERS</strong> <strong>BAR</strong> 47
