2010 Beer List

There will be no Sussex Branches Beer & Cider Festival in 2020; hopefully back in 2021!.

Counting the voting slips and comment forms yielded the following results:

Beer of the Festival: Crouch Vale Amarillo
Bev Robbins Trophy: Harvey's Lewes Castle Brown Ale
Cider of the Festival: Hunt's Cider (this was incorrectly listed as Sedlescombe Cider, Sedlescombe is where Hunt's are based)
Perry of the Festival: Heck's Blakeney Red

Below is the long awaited provisional list for the 20th Sussex Beer Festival. There's 223 beers listed (a handful of these have still to be confirmed), split into Sussex Beers and "the rest".

As always, alterations can happen right up until the last moment!
