I have therefore come up with the following scoring system, which is an inexact science in the extreme.
All data points are scored out of five, with quarter-point increments, in tribute to Untappd, which is, of course, the greatest mobile app in the history of computing!
Location
|
How cool, picturesque,
steam-punk industrial, or otherwise interesting is the location?
|
Accessibility
|
How easy it the taproom to
get to on public transport, or at least, is there a reasonably-priced hotel
option near-by?
|
Ambience
|
Is the taproom a nice place
to be? This doesn't have to be luxurious, but is it a comfortable, welcoming
place to spend a few hours?
|
Beer Selection
|
This is partly about number
of taps, partly about a range of styles, but mostly about the beer styles
that I love (Pale, IPA, NEIPA, DIPA, Stout and Porter)
|
Staff
|
Are there enough of them,
is the service great, are they welcoming, enthusiastic, and happy to talk
about the beer (if they have time)?
|
Value for money
|
Some taprooms (mainly in
the USA) are absolutely insane value for money, some are downright expensive.
|
Emotional quotient
|
Some taprooms are so
amazing (some mysterious combination of the above metrics) that they bring me
over quite emotional!
|
The above scores are then added together, to give a total out of a possible 35 points.
I know that this is subjective, non-scientific, and perhaps downright ridiculous, but it is my blog, and the scoring system pleases me, so this is how it will be!
Great idea, can’t imagine why you scored 5 for staff at Standing Bar - I suspect a certain waitress raised your EQ! Look forward to adopting this...
ReplyDeleteI thought that the owner and the wait-staff were all great! ;-)
