John Harvey started brewing beer in Sussex way back in the 1820s. The family business is still going strong, and is firmly established as one of the best-known brewers in the south-east of England. Every Tuesday, they deliver beer by horse and dray to local pubs, and 80% of the beer they make is sold within 50 miles of the brewery. Thankfully, what with miracle of the internet and all that, you can now get Harvey’s beers much further afield.
Harveys Sussex Best
As the name indicates, this is a traditional bitter. It pours well, with a light caramel colour, with a decent head on it. There is a nice hoppy flavour but it’s not overpowering. According to one of our regulars, it’s just perfect with a bowl of salted peanuts!
