BEXHILL’S popular Brickmaker’s Alehouse has won a prestigious award for the third year running.
The pub has been selected as CAMRA’s (Campaign for Real Ale) South East Sussex branch as Pub of the Year.
CAMRA was founded in 1971 and it is an independent organisation that promotes real ale, cider and perry, as well as traditional British pubs and clubs.
The Brickmaker’s team wrote on their Facebook page: “We are delighted to confirm that we have been chosen by the South East Sussex branch of CAMRA as their Pub of The Year for the third year running.
“It is an amazing honour and the sort of thing we could have only dreamed about when we opened in November 2019.
“Thank you so much to all members of the branch who voted for us and for all our great customers who continue to support us in these challenging economic times.
“We have been fortunate enough to work with some great brewers and cider makers, who have helped make it a golden age for the drinking public.
“Last but not least, we want to thank our amazing team of bar workers for all their work this year, we’d be nothing without them.
“The presentation from the branch chairman will be, put it in your diary, on June 25. Watch this space for more details of the fun to come. Cheers!”
