Don’t know how I missed adding this on the site way back in 2006 when I last was in Lewes. Strange coming up an over the hills to descend on the dale that is this is small town. Grass, as I remember, summed up the countryside. A few good pubs, not for food but just alehouses, seamen talking swank. And then this brewery, a scene of historic significance. Just has Industrial revolution painted upon it’s edifices. The interior a possible different story, but then one just has to taste and deeply respect their Imperial Stout to understand nothing much has changed or has to change at this brewery any time soon. On the main walk in Lewes, just off an embankment. A tiny shop with nothing but beer as far as I remember, and glassware which I managed to smuggle back to Oz. A must for traditional, 19th century ales. Recommended.

A good merchandise and bottle shop with most of the Harvey’s range on offer, including some of the low alcohol ones.
