The Cooper’s was allocated a place in the Good Beer Guide by South East Sussex Branch in 2009. Following this it maintained its high standard of beer for the following decade which covered the time that the Sub Branch took over GBG selections for its area. So it fell to Sub Branch Chair, Steve, to make the presentation of a certificate to mark this achievement which was made at the Pub’s ‘Dark and Delicious’ beer festival at the start of February. Snow on the ground did not prevent some Coastal area members joining the group for the presentation and in enjoying the festival. Our picture shows landlord Dave and his wife Judith accepting the certificate from Steve.
