ER Beer Festivals
ER Beer Festivals
We hold beer festivals at The Engine Room three times a year.
Spring hosts our Strong | Dark Beer Festival.
Summer hosts our Summer Beer Festival.
Late September hosts our Oktoberfest, where we have Germanic beers, with a scattering of other UK & Sussex producers producing Germanic styles of beers.
As we know precise dates, we will post below.
If coming as a group & to ensure you have a seat, we recommend you contact The Engine Room to book a table.
If there isn't a formal beer festival on, you can create your own.
We always serve beers in small quantities. You can choose three of these served in a "flight" to enjoy the full range of styles we offer.Â
With thanks to Andy at Totally Steamed for supplying us with the flight holders.
Our Oktoberfest beer festival will be from Friday 25th to Sunday 27th September 2026.
Our version takes place in the traditional Oktoberfest period, which is from mid September to the first Sunday in October. Join us on our own Thereiesenwiese (i.e. the terrace outside the ER) for our celebrations & music.
We will also have "The Best of the Wurst" BBQ, where you'll find Sussex-style Bratwurst on offer, from Nick the Butcher in Hartfield.
