The Bath & Borders branch uses beer scores submitted during pub visits to help decide which pubs are featured in the annual Good Beer Guide. The more members who score their beers, the more accurate our picture of where to find the best real ale becomes.

Beer scoring on the CAMRA website has recently been simplified, making it quicker and easier than ever to take part. Why not log in, score your latest pint, and help support the guide?

Following last years success, TeamTwisted have done it again, two category wins, a silver and third overall in the South West indie beer cask competition, humbled and so pleased at the blind tasted event with so many great beers, and the South West has some startlingly good beers. We look forward to the Nationals and will continue to expound the virtues of Glorious cask-conditioned real ale.
