Beerex celebrates branch birthday

Dorchester’s sell-out Beerex is back in the town’s Corn Exhange and this year celebrates the local CAMRA branch’s 50th birthday. The event is organised by the Campaign’s West Dorset branch and Dorchester Casterbridge Rotary Club over the 6-7 February weekend. To coincide with the branch’s 50th anniversary year, Dorset brewers have been busy brewing one-off celebratory ales that will feature among the 84 cask beers alongside more than 20 traditional ciders and perries.
