Good Beer Guide

LOL Perhaps CAMRA could provide all new members with a list of subjects guaranteed to make them welcome...

Fancy a cider anyone ;-)

I refer you to my answer given to the similar point made by Dave Hillam.

Yes, but that's no excuse to put pubs serving poor beer into the GBG.

Where is "here"? Don't forget that, while some areas may attract few tourists, they may still have many business travellers from outside the area.

It's not unknown for publicans to assume that there is nothing ever wrong with their beer because they are in the GBG :(

How many of the 'obscure beers' are in poor condition because customers don't want to drink them. I'm sure that some people think all real ale is good quality but in reality much of what comes out of some small breweries is bland or uninspiring. The more names the brewery uses for the same beer the more suspect the quality of the product!

The landlord of my local once signed up to a six cask deal from a single brewery - all the beers had different straights and names. Customers soon found out that all beers tasted exactly the same and avoided them.

That sounds a dreadful prospect and certainly not ideal. There is no such beast as a CAMRA "expert" for start.

I don't think anyone wants to qualify: Ex - "has been" Spurt - "drip under pressure"

Hmmm, don't know that bunch. I know some of the more westerly branches.

Camra apologists? I might admit to that label if I thought there was something to apologise for.

And what's wrong with Young's, apart from the fact that discerning drinkers admire their beers?

I've looked, but can not find.
