Members who are logged in are invited to rate beer in pubs serving real ale in the branch area.Please login to make use of member options, or continue without logging in to view the public version of the page.
Each member is allowed to rate the beer in each pub once per calendar month.
Members must not submit ratings for pubs which they have not visited during the month.
Ratings should be solely based on the quality of the beer. Factors such as the price, range of beers on offer or the type of pub should not affect your judgement.
Ratings entered in 2024 will be used to rank local pubs for the 2025 Pub of the Year competition, and for possible inclusion in the 2026 edition of the Good Beer Guide.
Beer Rating Scheme
Score | Description | Guidance |
5 | Perfect | Probably the best you are ever likely to find. A seasoned drinker will award this score very rarely. |
4.5 | Very good/Perfect | Possibly close to the best you ever had, but not for sure. |
4 | Very good | Excellent beer in excellent condition. |
3.5 | Good / Very good | You will probably stay here rather than move on. |
3 | Good | Good beer in good form. You may cancel plans to move to the next pub. You want to stay for another pint and may seek out the beer again. |
2.5 | Average / Good | It is better than average but perhaps not a definite good. |
2 | Average | Competently kept, drinkable pint but doesn't inspire in any way, not worth moving to another pub but you drink the beer without really noticing. |
1.5 | Poor / Average | You think of finishing your ale and moving on. |
1 | Poor | Beer that is anything from barely drinkable to drinkable with considerable resentment. |
0.5 | Undrinkable / Poor | Beer undrinkable, so poor you have to take it back or can't finish it. |
0 | No real ale | No cask ale available or so poor you have to take it back or can't finish it. |
