Description
Amber, Red Ale & Bitter
England: East Sussex
ABV 4.0% - 5.0 Litres
In a Nutshell:
A 5 litre mini keg of Classic British Best Bitter with a balanced malty sweetness and a satisfying hop kick you'd expect from a proper Sussex ale.
The Lowdown:
Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter is a proper bitter. Brewed since 1955, it embodies that post-war return to sensible gravities. None of that wishy-washy stuff here. Lovely balance of biscuit malt and a good, firm hop bitterness that lingers politely. There's an air of freshly baked bread about it, with a hint of the Sussex countryside. A beer that's earned its title as the 'Beer of Sussex'. Nothing flashy, but a steady, reliable companion of an ale.
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.
