Eastbourne Beer Festival
I have just spent a fantastic day at the Eastbourne Beer Festival, my hearty congrats to all concerned you put on a great show each year. I love the Sussex ales, but my fave of the day was from Kent, it was Whitstable Oyster Stout - do look it up, I think that stout could be the next big thing.
