Harvey’s Sussex Ales

Brewed in the heart of Lewes for over 200 years, Harvey & Son is the pinnacle of traditional Sussex brewing. Operating out of the historic Bridge Wharf Brewery, they rely on local spring water drawn from 90 feet beneath the site, whole hops and a unique yeast strain passed down through generations. The result is pure, unpasteurised character – authentic British beer at its absolute best.
