Good Beer Guide 2026 nominations
The Good Beer Guide is a book that lists the best pubs in Britain. All the pubs in the book are nominated bu CAMRA members.
Well, it’s time to nominate the best pubs in the Bradford CAMRA Area
Notes:
Only members of Bradford Branch of CAMRA are eligible to submit nominations.
A maximum of 20 pubs are to be nominated by each person.
Pubs to be nominated should consistently serve real ale of good quality and in excellent condition at all times.
To demonstrate a sufficient period of providing good quality real ale, pubs that were opened after 30th June 2024 are not eligible for nomination.
The pubs with the most votes will be submitted for GBG 2026 (subject to ratification at the branch meeting in February).
The maximum number of pubs that the branch can submit for the Good Beer Guide is determined by CAMRA.
The deadline for completed forms is the end of Friday 31st January 2025
Pub Selection Criteria
Primary Criterion:
The pub should consistently serve ale of good quality and in excellent condition at all times.
The above shall be taken to mean consistent beer quality over a full year.
Other CAMRA Criteria to be Considered:
The pub should comply with the approved beer dispense methods detailed in the CAMRA Internal Policy Document (see attached copy of Appendix 1).
Branches are to give preference to pubs using oversized, lined glasses wherever pubs of equal status are considered for GBG entry.
Branches may include outlets in the GBG that are not pubs.
Will the licensee still be in the pub when that edition of the GBG is published?
Other Considerations:
Real cider and perry.
Welcome / friendliness of staff.
Presentation / cleanliness.
Food.
History of the pub / establishment.
Architecture.
Support for the community.
Pub garden.
Accommodation.
The principle selection criterion is, and should always be, beer quality. The other factors should only be an influencing factor if there is a related impact to beer quality (for example, a change of landlord) or if further selection is required to meet the maximum permitted number of submissions for the Good Beer Guide.
So NOMINATE NOW!!!
