This year's BOF winner was the Acorn Gorlovka stout. Our thanks to all those who voted, and came along to make it such an enjoyable event.
Our beer festival is held from the Friday to Monday of every August Bank Holiday weekend.
This year there will be live music from The Ragiti String Band on Friday night, Alfie & The Alcoholics on Saturday night.
There will be a dozen beers, of varying styles, sourced from small breweries all round the UK.
As well as these, served from our marquee on the patio, we serve three ales as usual from hand pumps on the bar. For the duration of the festival these are always from Sussex.
You have the opportunity to vote for your favourite beer of the festival, and four lucky voters will win a special prize.
This is the list of beers for the marquee this year:
Coach House Gunpowder Mild
