Battle Brewery

At the Eastbourne Beer Festival, an award is made for the Beer of the Festival from a Sussex Microbrewery. It is not unknown for there to be a tie when the votes of the festival goers have been counted, but for the first time two beers from the same brewery tied at the festival in 2019. So it was a double celebration when branch members visited Battle Brewery to present the awards to Rob and Jo for Abbey Pale and Alan the Red.

Harvey's Brewery

Two awards were made during an ever popular branch visit to the brewery. In the brewery yard Phil Cozens presented Miles Jenner with the 2019 Eastbourne Beer of the Festival for Star of Eastbourne and Peter Adams the Branch Sussex Beer of the Year for Bonfire Boy, as voted for by CAMRA members through the National Beer Scoring Scheme. Visits were made to the tasting room before and afterwards, once again we experienced wonderful hospitality from Miles and his team. Miles also offered an ever popular brewery tour, while most had been round before, virtually everyone went round, as it always seems a fresh experience.
