National Beer Scoring Scheme

The National Beer Scoring Scheme (NBSS) is a system used in the UK to evaluate and score cask ale in pubs. Beer enthusiasts and judges assess the quality of the ale based on factors like appearance, aroma, taste, and overall condition. Scores help pub owners understand how well their beers are being received and assist in improving quality. It also guides customers in choosing well-rated ales, ensuring a better experience for beer drinkers. The scheme encourages a high standard in the brewing industry and fosters awareness of cask ales among the public.
