The National Beer Scoring Scheme (NBSS) is a 0-5 point scale (with 0.5 gradations) for judging beer quality in pubs. It is an easy to use system (now integrated with WhatPub) that has been designed to assist CAMRA branches in selecting pubs for the Good Beer Guide and monitoring beer quality by encouraging CAMRA members to report on beer quality whereever they go.

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 WhatPub and enter scores.

We welcome and encourage submissions from members - 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!
