The provisional lists (as at 11 Feb 2012) for the Rest of the UK (split into A-F, G-P and R-Z) and the Sussex beers are below. As ever, last-minute substitutions (and, unfortunately, beers that fail to reach condition) are possible right up to the start of the festival, and all beers are subject to availability (i.e. leave it until Saturday evening, then don't be surprised if the most popular have already sold out!).

Update 12/03/12: a last minute change to approximately 20% of the beers in the Main Hall was foisted upon us due to issues with a supplier, and we've recorded them here at the foot of this page for posterity.

You can also download the tasting notes (which will also appear in the Festival programme handed to each attendee) for the Sussex beers (74kb PDF file opening in separate window), with the rest of the UK to follow shortly.

Details of bottled beers, ciders & perries and wines can be found on their own pages.
