Our journey towards fulfilling a long held ambition, establishing our own commercial brewery, has taken us a while to complete.
The story began in earnest during October 2011 when building and conversion work began on our flint barn and outbuildings at Church Farm, Litlington, in the heart of the South Downs National Park. However, the real story begins at a much earlier date.
We pride ourselves on providing a relaxed opportunity for customers to gain an appreciation of the brewing process and our heritage – and to raise any questions with our production staff.
Harvey's Brewery is the oldest independent brewery in Sussex. A family business, the brewery has been in the guardianship of seven generations of John Harvey's descendants since 1790, with five family members from the seventh and eighth generations currently working here.
