For the second year in a row, Gun’s Zamzama IPA, a 6.5% strong ale, came out top of the beers brewed in the branch area to be South East Sussex Beer of the Year 2018. This award is made by considering all the NBSS scores awarded in pubs in the branch area across the year, the highest placed beer with at least 10 scores and 4 scores gets the award. This means the beer is being judged as the best as drinkers find it in pubs through the year, rather than one particularly good batch or cask taking an award, for example at a beer festival. As the brewery is in the Sub Branch area and Steve, the Chair of the Sub Branch, is the Brewery Liaison Officer for Gun, he made the presentation with both Sub Branch and Coastal members present at a gathering at the brewery in mid June.
