Welcome to the Arun and Adur Branch.

We visited the brewery for the beer launch, and it was well worth the trip. Cornucopia was clear and crisp with a lovely sweetness to it. It is extremely drinkable and easily a session beer.

Golden Corn Ale has a lower ABV and some amazing aromas as you drink it. There is a touch of bitterness in the finish, which balances out the sweetness nicely.

Both beers have been released in cask, and you can also find Cornucopia in cans.

Cornucopia

6.2% ABV

A bold, limited-run cask beer brewed with corn.

Golden Corn Ale

4.5% ABV

A new limited-run cask ale, also brewed with corn.

The Arun & Adur branch of CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) is celebrating the success of its 28th Worthing Beer Festival, with festival-goers enjoying a wide selection of beers and ciders despite challenging weather conditions.

Held at ROOMS, upstairs in the Guildbourne Centre, Worthing, the three-session event featured 41 cask ales, 12 keg beers and 10 ciders, with strong sales throughout the festival.

The organisers thanked Henry Kirk, who selected the beers, and Clare Longhurst, who selected the ciders, for putting together such an impressive line-up.

Particular thanks go to UnBarred Brewery of Brighton and Worthing, which sponsored the festival and donated casks. Harveys of Lewes also generously donated a cask of its new "Lost Brew" ale. The historic beer, which had not been brewed for many years and dates back to 1890, proved a huge hit with festival-goers and was the first beer to sell out.

The event also provided an opportunity to promote CAMRA, with several new members signing up during the festival.

Over £1,400 raised for Care for Veterans

The festival once again supported Care for Veterans, the local charity that is now part of Royal Star & Garter.

Festival-goers were invited to donate any unused drinks tokens, raising over £300 for the charity. This was in addition to funds raised directly by Care for Veterans volunteers during the event, bringing the total raised to over £1,400.

The organisers would like to thank everyone who donated and supported the charity, as well as the Care for Veterans volunteers who helped throughout the festival.

The festival also welcomed a number of invited guests, including Tom Rutland MP, the new owners of Goldmark Brewery, and owners and staff from a number of local pubs.

The Arun & Adur CAMRA branch would like to thank all the brewers, cider producers, sponsors, volunteers, charity representatives, guests and, above all, the festival-goers who helped make the 28th Worthing Beer Festival another successful event.
