Yet More Awards from SIBA! We thought we were doing well in August last year, when we won three awards in a single day at SIBA's annual beer festival at The Hop Farm in Kent (click here for details). But in March, Sussex Mild progressed to SIBA's national competition at Stratford-on-Avon where it won the Gold medal in the Mild category, and the silver medal in the Champion Beer of the Year award. The whole process kicks off again in early July with the 3rd SIBA South East of England Beer Festival – click here for further details. Home Page After that excitement, welcome to Arundel Brewery's website! While you are here, don't forget to have a look at the Outlets page, which features local pubs, off licences, restaurants, etc. that stock our beers. Thirsty drinkers need to know where they can find our products. We work hard with the licensed trade to make sure that our draught beers reach you in top condition. We are also increasing our bottled range which is proving very successful in the supermarket trade, as you will have read above. Having won a listing with Sainsbury's for bottled Sussex Gold (our most popular beer), we were thrilled to be told that bottled ASB had won first prize in this year's Tesco Drinks Awards. Please visit us again to catch up with our news and developments – and don't forget that we have an off licence, so retail customers can buy our draught or bottled beer straight from the brewery door. Click here for further details. Local Archaeology Before the present small industrial estate was constructed on Ford airfield, local archaeologists were invited to excavate the area, since it was rumoured to have been the site of a great centre of Celtic culture and festivities. Most interesting amongst the finds were fragments of ancient earthenware drinking vessels, inscribed with Celtic runes which seemed to form part of a single epic poem. While it has proved impossible to piece together all of the lost verses, the final stanza is of particular interest to scholars and brewing historians. The conclusion of this archaic rhyme, loosely translated, is shown in the next column. Down the Hatch!
