12 April 2013: Beers & Cider of the Festival

Cider of the festival was Oakwood Organic form East Sussex and Perry of the festival was Barbourne Medium from Worcestershire.

The Bev Robbins Shield for the best Sussex Beer was Harvey’s Prince of Denmark.

Thanks to the generosity of the 4300 festival goers the festival charity, Dolphin House collected £295 in cash. Unused beer tokens amounted to £1478.40 and a barrel of beer donated by the Kissingate Brewery raised £180.

Next year the festival will be open from 6 – 8 March 2014.

Our outgoing festival organiser, Ingrid Sharp, has penned a closing report for the Sussex Drinker magazine that you can read first here.

2 March 2013, 10pm: "Time at the bar..."

Many thanks for all who came to enjoy the 23rd Sussex CAMRA Branches Beer & Cider Festival this year, and special thanks to the organisers, cellarmen, bar staff and all other volunteers who put so much time and effort in for free (well, maybe the odd beer here and there...). And not to forget the caterers, stall-holders and the Hove Town Hall stewards and other staff.

We will be back in a couple of weeks with announcements for Beer of the Festival and the Bev Robbins Trophy for the best Sussex beer, and of course we'll see you again next year...
