Dorchester Beerex is back for 2022.

The organisers of Dorchester Beerex, West Dorset Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) and charity partner Dorchester Casterbridge Rotary club have announced that the 33rd Dorchester Beerex held in the Corn Exchange will be taking place next February.

The popular event which attracts beer connoisseurs from near and far along with local customers returns on Friday February 4th and Saturday the 5th with lunchtime and evening sessions.

Organisers say they are in the early stages of planning the event and are looking to provide entertainment in the evening sessions and the popular raffle at all sessions.

Palmer’s Brewery of Bridport is once again the main festival sponsor and past barrel sponsors will be contacted in the near future for their support.

The festival have named their main principle charity as the Dorchester Youth & Community Centre (DYCC) on Kings Road in Dorchester.

Since the event started in 1988 the festival has raised in excess of £200K for good local causes.

Beerex spokesperson Rich Gabe said: “We are really looking forward to providing our customers with a great selection of beers and ciders, we missed the event in 2021 due to Covid and we look forward to welcoming regular and new customers to Beerex, promoting the U.K brewing scene while also raising funds for worthwhile causes”.
