The Categories

B.E.E.R.S is much more than just drinking, its an exploration into the unknown. These weekly outings are kept track of with a carefully constructed system of categories, each with their own subtleties and variations.


-Price ($ for a pint?)
-Location (literally, which area is it located in)
-Distance (from Wellington Manor)
-Ambience (the atmosphere created by the venue and those interacting within it)
-Character (the architectural qualities of the venue)
-Decor (the interior design and decoration)
-Comfort (seating and other options)
-Patrons (attitude, age group, demographic, dress sense etc)
-Staff (service, beer knowledge, good looks? etc)
-Selection (tap beer, bottled, wine list etc)
-Beer Garden/Outdoor setting
-Weekly specials, bandroom, events
-LSR (light-to-sound-ratio) - A highly scientific category for analysing lighting and music levels
-Amenities (the porcelain chamber)
-Top suggestion: the one thing that would make the most improvement
-Field Notes
-Memorable Quotes
-Arbitrary Score (0-100)

The categories undergo change from time to time so some older posts may be slightly different.
