Adrian and Annabelle have re-established Eastbourne’s Hurst Arms as an outstanding tied Harvey’s pub in the area and in four years have won three CAMRA branch awards. This year they were runner up Pub of the Year, consistently serving a choice of five Harvey’s ales to a high standard. On this particular day several branch members were delighted to find a choice of Old Ale and Tom Paine among the five, which did not disappoint. Those of us who made the journey down from East Dean were pleased to join a group of other members chatting about beer and pubs with Adrian before he was presented with the award behind some of his handpumps.
