Beer Scoring

Wirral CAMRA uses beer scores submitted by CAMRA members to decide which pubs will be in the next Good Beer Guide.

A few reminders:

  • Only CAMRA members can submit beer scores.
  • CAMRA members must log in to the CAMRA Pubs website (If you have forgotten your password there is a link to reset it from an email and you can save your password for future scoring).
  • Submit scores only for cask conditioned beer (real ales). We do not accept scores for cider or keg beers.
  • We do not accept scores where there may be a potential conflict of interest such as from pub licensees, managers, bar staff or anyone else closely associated with any Wirral pub.
  • Any unrealistic scores will be disregarded – for instance where an individual always scores a very high mark for every beer at their favourite local on every visit.

To enter a score, use CAMRA’s National Beer Scoring System (NBSS). You can access this online from the CAMRA Pubs website where the scoring system is explained. Factors affecting your opinion include whether the taste and quality of the beer produced at the brewery is to a high standard and how well the beer has been looked after since leaving the brewery, particularly its length of time, conditioning and treatment in the pub cellar.

  • Using your phone on the pub’s Wi-Fi or your phone’s network, log onto the CAMRA Pubs website
  • Find the entry for the pub – there is a button labelled ‘Pubs Nearby’ to save you doing a full search
  • Click on ‘Beer Score’
  • You can then follow the screen guidance, first naming the beer you are scoring. If the beer does not appear on the list under the pub or under the brewery name, you can enter the brewery and beer name manually.
  • Read the descriptions of the scores

  • Click on your score and add any additional comments then click on Submit score.
  • If you do not have a smart phone to enter scores while in the pub, you can use a laptop/desktop computer later at home to log onto the CAMRA Pubs website
  • If you make a mistake, you can correct it later (it’s easiest to do this on a laptop/desktop). You can review and amend your own scores later
