25th South Downs Beer & Cider Festival 2023
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the 25th CAMRA South Downs Beer & Cider Festival, at the Corn Exchange. We hope you will enjoy your session with us
The team have sought out 70 cask beers together with a selection of real ciders, perries and specialty ciders (cider with additional fruit!).
In addition, we will have a selection of membrane keg live beers from local breweries.
If you are new to CAMRA we are not just about promoting real ale and cider but campaigning for consumer rights; be this keeping pubs open as these are the best place to drink real ale and cider; but also on taxation, which affects the price of your drink.
