2018 Beer List

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

Our provisional beer list (as at 12 March 2018) is ordered alphabetically by brewery and is split into A-G, H-Y, Sussex 1-G and Sussex H-W.

The key to the styles are: B: Bitter, M: Mild, G: Golden ale, I: IPA, O: Old/Porter/Stout, P: Pale Ale, S: Strong Ale/Barley Wine, U: Unusual. A guide to the different beer styles can be found here.
