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

After
the popularity of ciders, perry and wine at the 2005 festival,
we've stocked a much wider range at subsequent festivals,
and we're up to a record number for 2012.
See below for details of the 36 ciders (split into 8 dry,
5 medium dry, 15 medium,
3 medium sweet and 5 sweet),
14 perries and 1 cider
perry that are currently pencilled in for the start of
the 2012 festival (update 12/03/12: and the 1 perry that was
added at the Festival itself).
You can also download the tasting notes from here
(pdf file, 2 pages, 281kb)

& Perry section of the CAMRA website (opens in new
