Description
Dark & Strong Ale, Barley Wine
England: East Sussex
ABV 7.5% - 50.0cl
In a Nutshell:
A traditional barley wine that tastes like rich Christmas pudding in a glass, with malty sweetness and a boozy warmth.
The Lowdown:
This Christmas Ale from Harvey's down in Sussex is not one of those knee-deep stouts that leave you looking for a nap under the tree. This one's a sensible sort, a winter warmer without the whole nine yards. Think of it like a nice pair of slippers - familiar, comforting, gets the job done. Touch of spice, hint of citrus, all wrapped up in a malty hug. Not going to win any awards for innovation, but then again, neither is your nan's roast. And that, let's be honest, is exactly what you want with a Christmas tipple, isn't it?
The Brewery:
Harveys can fairly claim to be part of England's brewing heritage. They're one of the country's long-established regional breweries still under independent ownership - something of a dying breed - and have been run by the descendants of founder John Harvey since the late eighteenth century, operating from their historic brewery, locally known as "the cathedral", in the heart of the Sussex market town of Lewes. Using locally sourced ingredients is high on their list, and their flagship ales are made with hops and malt sourced almost entirely from Sussex, Kent and Surrey. Tradition and continuity are the twin themes that guide them, yet while their best-known ale, Sussex Best, is something of an institution in its own right, they're not shy of embracing contemporary fashions. All of which leaves Harvey's well placed to play a significant part in England's beer culture well into the future.
