Ale - National Beer Scoring System

Food Expectations
Value Index: 100 = price we
expect to pay, <99 or Less = Great
Value!, >Over 100 = Chiselling
Bastards!
On Tour we look for good beer soaking meals -
plate of Chilli around £5-50, decently priced rolls or sandwich £2
Burgers under £5, snacks - Cheese on Toast, Cheesy Chips etc for under £2
It's not rocket science, But it is possible - read The Journals!
(Prices correct as at October 2008)
Pub Scores ~
Introduced for 'BiTe' reviews based
loosely on CAMRA's old 10 point version of the above.
