If you're going to the UK and want to have a handy list of pubs to consult before you go, this is a good choice. It's probably the definitive guide to good beers however, there isn't a lot of detail about any particular entry. Outside of knowing what kind of beer you'll find, you wont' know too much else about a selection.

I'd probably go 3 1/2 stars, but that isn't an option.
