This beer in this bar in the Enterprise Centre had been scored by CAMRA members the best in the branch area for a bar serving real ale by KeyKeg for both 2022 and 2023. So by way of catching up, the first presentation of 2024 was by Branch Chair Matt was to present both awards to Joanna, manager of Ninkaci, supported by husband Andy. In our pictures Jo and Andy are seen holding the awards. On the same evening, Matt presented Mark and Gavin, brewers of Eastbourne microbrewery, Route 21, the Beer of the Festival Award for their beer Stroll. This was only the second year they had supplied beer to Eastbourne Beer Festival and both we and they were delighted that a local brewery should get such recognition from the drinkers who attended the festival. In our pictures, Mark is standing to the left of Gavin.
