2017 Beer List

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


A updated beer list (as at 21March 2017) is ordered alphabetically by brewery and is split into 1-C, D-G, H-N and O-Y. A guide to the different beer styles can be found here.

A copy of the tasting notes based on the first provisional beer list is now available to download (47kb, 4 pages), as is the programme (1.8mb pdf file).

Notified replacements (changes from the provisional list from 6 March and the programme) are listed below (and reflected in the full table below).
