We aim to visit as many pubs in the SE London Branch area that serve real ale during the course of the year. To give them a fair chance of being in future editions of Good Beer Guide we are using the 10-point Beer Scoring System to assess beer quality and will use these results as the principal criterion for judging each pub. Members - your help is needed. Please fill in the form below to help us with this mammoth task. You are also welcome to report on pubs in other areas, but please use the downloadable form to submit the score to us, the Branch concerned, or CAMRA HQ.

Scoring System
7 or above is GBG standard.| Score | Rating | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | Undrinkable | You take it back - includes times when no real ale is on sale. |
| 1 | Very poor or going off | Not very nice and halfway down the pint you decide you can't finish it. |
| 2 | Very poor | You manage to finish the pint but you wouldn't have another even if someone else is buying - you would rather drink orange squash. |
| 3 | Poor | You are with a group of friends or work colleagues who don't know or care about what they are drinking - you would prefer to go elsewhere to drink but from some sense of duty, stay and drink very slowly or just drink halves. |
| 4 | Below average | You would not really want another pint if you had the choice but if someone else put it in front of you, it is just acceptable. |
| 5 | Average | Competently kept, drinkable pint but doesn't inspire in any way; you drink it without really noticing. |
| 6 | Above average | A pleasant drink and it may not be worth moving on to another pub but if you had the time and could be bothered, you might look out for something better. |
| 7 | Good | Well worth having another (pint or two). |
| 8 | Very good | Good beer in good form - possibly cancel plans to move on to the next pub; you want to stay for a few more and seek out this beer in this condition again. |
| 9 | Excellent | Probably the best you are ever likely to find. |
| 10 | Nectar | The best pint you've ever had in the best pub in the world - you might score like this every week when you're young and inexperienced but with maturity, such a good score is rarely achieved. |
