Out of interest can I ask which pub that is? May be pedalling that way in a while.My Weatherspoon's is just brilliant, cheap beer, great atmosphere, contactless payment, plenty of spaces to sit and food is good too. No loud music, always get a seat, nice toilets, clean, cant fault it. Even my beer comes in a glass that's the same as the beer manufacturer! The only downside is the walk to town to get there, but if I am lazy I get a taxi!!
If it hasn't got good beer, it can't be a good pub.
And a few decent gins ...

I agree with the rest of your post, but beer quality is the clincher, and the thing most often obscured in pubs' own marketing.
Yup. I always had a problem with the conflict between the GPG and the GBG.OTOH, it needs to have a lot more than just good beer.
As a formerly active member of my local CAMRA branch, I was frequently disappointed by the stubborn insistence that beer quality was the sole criterion allowed in judging pubs for inclusion in the Good Beer Guide. It meant that several pubs got into the book that had beer quality as the only recommendation going for them, usually because they were the favourite of a particular branch committee member, while other pubs that had a more diverse range of attractions were ignored, even if the beer was up to scratch.
When you think that the purpose of the GBG is to help members from elsewhere to find the best pubs in your area, I always felt we were doing them a disservice.
