As a scientific system it's subject to change as research progresses. For example the popularity of beards with youths meant "beard or weird" was no longer useful. So it was changed to "god or odd", and there has to be someone looking like god to get the point. Or someone odd obviously.

It's a simple binary system where pubs are scored one or zero in the following categories:

1. Sign

2. Building/Decor

3. Beer range

4. Beer quality

5. Staff

6. Atmosphere

7. Beard or Weird

8. Special feature

9. Loos

10. Would you make it your local?

This gives pubs an objective scientific score and removes the subjectivity that might otherwise creep in when rating pubs.

You need the scientific scoring system!

Admittedly I did hear it from a hop merchant but things were sounding more positive about English hops with rank Manitoban flavours! ;-)
