Good Beer Guide 2027 – Request for Nominations
Although 2027 may seem a long way off, the publishing schedule means that nominations are required for pubs to be considered for the next Good Beer Guide. As a result, the CAMRA Bradford Branch has opened its nomination process to branch members.
As always, there is a limited allocation for entries for each branch. Therefore, we are not able to submit all the pubs we may like to. As a result, we request all CAMRA Bradford members to submit nominations for up to 20 pubs within the branch area they consider to be worthy of inclusion in the Good Beer Guide. The area boundary is available on the CAMRA Bradford website (www.bradfordcamra.org.uk).
To be eligible, the primary criterion is that the pub should consistently serve real ale of good quality and in excellent condition at all times. This usually means consistent beer quality over a full year. To ensure there is a sufficient period over which to confirm consistent quality of real ale, pubs opened after 30th June 2025 will not be eligible for nomination. All other factors are secondary considerations. These should only be an influencing factor if there is a related impact to beer quality (for example, a change of landlord or cellar manager).
Selection of pubs for the Good Beer Guide is dependent upon contributions from CAMRA Bradford members. This year, we will also be taking into account the beer scores received for the pubs in our area, therefore, please keep submitting the beer scores for the pubs you visit via the ‘Find Pubs and Clubs’ section of the CAMRA website. Your input to this process is the key to its success. The more members that contribute, the fairer the process is. If you believe one of the pubs you frequent, or are interested in, is being over-looked please take part in the nomination and beer scoring processes and/or persuade other CAMRA Bradford branch members you know to also participate.
A copy of the Good Beer Guide nomination form is given below. Completed forms are to be returned to a Branch Committee member by one of the following methods:
· By hand: During a CAMRA Bradford branch meeting or social event
· By post: GBG 2027, 1 Hill Top, Cottingley, Bingley, BD16 1SB
· By email: gbg@bradfordcamra.org.uk
Details of when and where branch meetings and social events are held are given in Tyke Taverner and on the branch website (www.bradfordcamra.org.uk) and Facebook page.
The deadline for submitting nominations is the Branch social event on Saturday 31st January 2026. Remember to include your name and membership number to ensure your nominations are counted.
