Just started having a look through the GBG2014 and comparing to PuG.
Two of the first 4 in Tayside didn't have the cask ale flag marked on PuG.
I've added the comment "In CAMRA GBG2014".
Anyone with the latest GBG want to start on another county?
It will also tell you real cider, accomodation, child friendly etc
If there isn't an apple sign it should be safe to consider that they don't sell real cider as well.

A pub is for life not just for Christmas
Well that was interesting. The GBG2014 has 29 pubs in it for Tayside.
I was able to add real ale to 12 of them & other pub details to most of the rest.
I was also able to add a pub we didn't have.
Very useful.
I'll update this thread with a list of what has been started and completed if you guys will tell me on here.
Completed

OK Rob Hampshire is done, I've added 23 providing real ale and found four discrepancy's,
not investigated them yet but they are-
Tyrrells Ford Country Inn , Dorset on PUG, Hants in GBG.
The Golden Pheasant in the GBG is The Pheasant Plucker on PUG.
And if you search The Northcote Hotel PO4 0HL on PUG it re -directs you to the Leopold Tavern PO4 OJT, both in the GBG and obviously different places. Havent time to look into these tonight but if anyone wants to sort them please jump in.Also the Romsey Beer Emporium 15 Bell Street SO51 8GY doesn't appear to be on the site.will look to a new county shortly.

From the link of http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/stats/real-ale-counties.php how do we find out which pubs haven't been reviewed yet? I'm pretty sure from some form of memory I could reduce the Bristol unknown ones drastically and increase the obvious extra facilities without revisiting to up my stats. I've now got a little into this after trying not to get absorbed into it so every pub I go into I load up and start clicking the yes and no buttons, could do a lot more from memory/desktop but that would see me get too absorbed and featuring on a OCD CH4 documentary.
Current state of play.

I check each county against What Pub. They have benefitted vastly by using PuG as the best base to populate many areas so it's fair swaps. As I update both guides, it's give and take. It's much easier where there are strong branches such as Shropshire, but harder work and more uncertain in weaker branch areas.
