Cask Report 2019

We are renowned for our Sussex Best Bitter but as you’ll find in this product guide, we also produce an additional 26 cask ales, five keg products, mini kegs, cans and bottles. We supply a range of lagers from major brewers, and having also been wine merchants since 1794, you will discover our exclusive selection of wines complimentary to our beers. This is an exciting time for beer and with consumer tastes for local, sustainable, independent brands growing, how we produce our beer aligns us with these values. Traditional brewing continues the way it always has been at Harvey’s, using hand-crafted methods that our brewers from the 18th century would recognise today. How we brew has always naturally lent us to working collectively with the environment and local agriculture. A time honoured partnership which is beneficial for everyone involved, from the dairy herds at Plumpton College to Allotment nurseries in Barcombe.

Brewed since 1955 Sussex Best Bitter has evolved over decades, satisfying the expectations of the people of Sussex and its adjoining counties.

Harvey’s Sussex Best is full of character which is down to the perfectly blended combination of the four fine hops and two malts. It’s full of caramel and chocolate with background notes of orange peel and a palette refreshing subtle bitterness that pairs perfectly with a big punchy curry. Try it with butter chicken or a spicy beef madras. It also sits perfectly with the hot, sour and sweet flavours of Thai and Vietnamese dishes. All in all a cracking drop of drink.

Old Ale was Harvey’s Brewery’s first beer to win a National Award in 1952. The beer is celebrated by the Brewery’s annual ‘Dancing in the Old’ event with local Morris Men and Women joining us in our brewery yard the first weekend of October.

Mahogany-red in colour, this veteran beer style has dried fruit, currants, sultanas and suggestions of milk chocolate on the nose. There is dried fruit, a hint of chocolate and caramel on the palate, as well as a vinous hint in the background. It has a medium-bodied mouth feel allied to a smooth creaminess and an appealing (but not cloying) sweetness. Instead of a mid afternoon cup of tea, try a glass with Madeira cake, where the beer’s character acts as an extra ingredient. Also try with a roast beef sandwich but with piccalilli instead of mustard; or put half a pint in a beef stew and drink the rest alongside. Adrian Tierney-Jones: Award-winning freelance journalist, Author, and Beer Writer of the year 2017.

BREWING THE BEST BEER

OLYMPIA

Malt, water, yeast and hops are the fundamental ingredients for brewing today, but how Harvey’s operates, where we source our ingredients, and where our by-products go, are what make our beers distinct.

ALC

The brewery building was designed in such a way as to aid the brewing process, this seemed logical at the time of construction, and even now being gravity fed allows us to save energy from not using pumps to assist in production. At Harvey’s we start a brewing day by pouring sacks of malt into our mill, crushing it to a fine grist and exposing the starch in the grain; this is needed to be broken down into the sugars that our yeast will feast on during fermentation. MALT: Our malt is sourced from Maltsters in East Anglia, UK. Our contracts are set years in advance so we can guarantee a continued supply of the finest malt for our beers. The malt grist and water (liquor) are released into our Mash Tuns where the exposed starches from the grist are isothermally mashed, kept at a single temperature. This process enables enzymes in the malt to convert from starch into sugar, creating a sugar solution known as ‘wort’. WATER: Rainfall which has filtered over the Sussex chalk downs is drawn from our artesian well up into the liquor reservoir in the Harvey’s Tower. Our own water supply is important as it gives our beers a unique flavour, and our own source will preserve Harvey’s brewing for generations to come.

A refreshing and light golden ale with a soft bitterness. A hoppy summer favourite.

FOOD PAIRING Olympia with Chocolate Dessert and Olympia Infused Ice Cream

| Available April – September

ORIGIN First produced in 2005 to celebrate our major summer award at Kensington Olympia for Best Bitter. It became an instant hit. Olympia Golden Ale is a very refreshing summer ale with a balanced complexity. Especially appreciated when served at 11 degrees Celsius.

The yeast; a living single celled microorganism, is added to the wort and it will feed on the fermentable sugars, converting them to alcohol. Over the course of the following week the yeast continues to ferment and replaces the sugars with alcohol and Carbon dioxide, creating beer! OUR YEAST: For over half a century we have fermented our beers using a yeast strain which is now unique to us. The crop from each week’s brewing is re-pitched into the following weeks. We believe our yeast contributes to approximately 50% of our final beer flavour. The resulting brew is sent off for preparation and then racked, kegged, canned or bottled by the Harvey’s Brewing team to present a traditional, handmade, lovingly crafted beer to our customers.

In the final of MasterChef I wanted to put together a chocolate dessert with a rich ice cream that would soften the bitter chocolate. The golden ale ice cream came to life and it was a real winner. I tried several golden ales but the Olympia had a burst of summer and when I popped the cap there was a distinct hit of pineapple, grapefruit and even a touch of bubblegum. Served chilled this is a versatile easy drinking ale that pairs with rich desserts, but also just as well as fresh shellfish and Mediterranean food such as saffron rich Paella. It’s also great with spicy foods and is extremely quaffable. A great beer. Kenny Tutt: Masterchef Champion and Restaurateur.

The converted ‘wort’ gets transferred into one of two Coppers in our Copper House. A Copper is a very large kettle like vessel. This is when our locally sourced whole hops are added to the brew to contribute flavour, bitterness, and aroma. The mixture is then boiled and cooled before heading to our fermenting tuns. LOCAL WHOLE HOPS: We use local whole hops from Sussex, Kent and Surrey, placing contracts with local farms years in advance to ensure an ongoing supply. Our partnerships with our hop growers span many years, and we believe it is important to commit and invest in our local suppliers. At this point in the process leftover ‘spent’ hops from the Coppers are filtered into a hop back. They are shoveled out and collected for distribution to local allotments and nurseries; the same as our spent grains which go to Plumpton Agricultural College to feed their cows. The fermenting tuns are where the beer evolves and alcohol is created. This begins after we pitch our unique yeast strain, skimmed from a previous brew, in with the now cooled wort.

BITTER

Every spicy dish needs a partnering beer with a gentle bitterness to balance out all of the heat. A tasty chicken or vegetable madras that puts chilli, coriander, cumin, and turmeric together in a tomato base coating tender pieces of chicken is the way to go. It is a supper for conversation; for friends around the table. And the IPA is necessary, both for balance and to simply keep it social.

THE HARVEY’S STORY Harvey’s Brewery is the oldest independent brewery in Sussex. We are a family business, and the brewery has been in the custodianship of John Harvey’s descendants since 1790, with five family members from the seventh and eighth generations working here today.

1790

This beer has big savoury flavours of coffee, soya sauce and licorice. The food choice needs to have big flavours too. With each of the food choices the dense texture is important and they each need a beer that has oomph. Porter certainly has that!

The name of Harvey has long been associated with the supply of beers, wines and spirits in Sussex. Records of the 1790’s recall the delivery of Old Red Port, Sherry and Claret in Lewes and its surrounding villages.

1928

Alice May Harvey Smith (fourth generation) is elected Harvey’s first Chairperson. She and her sisters make two crucial appointments; their nephew Eric Carlyon Rundle, and in 1938, Anthony Jenner a fourth-generation brewer from R & H Jenner’s Brewery, South London.

Porter food pairings: Portobello Mushroom Burger, Steak & Ale Pie, Stilton Cheese Jane Peyton: Award winning writer, alcoholic drinks expert, public speaker, and UK’s first ‘pommelier’.

1899

Harvey’s experience business setbacks in the shadow of many other contemporary brewing companies such as Watneys, Charrington and Whitbread.

1820

John Harvey started brewing as a seasonal sideline activity in Bear Yard, opposite the current brewery. With his sons, Henry, Edwin and William, he acquired the current Bridge Wharf Site in 1838 for the price of £3,100 and developed “Harvey & Son”.

1859

Henry Harvey brewed Porters, Stouts and strong Mild Ales for distribution among 17 family owned public houses in Sussex. These were prosperous days for enterprising brewers.

1996

A fire devastates the brewery. Offices were temporarily moved to what is now the John Harvey Tavern. The brewery was restored in 1998 but, many important and historical files were lost to the fire.

2000

Another flood in Lewes deluges the brewery. Harvey’s were told that the brewery wouldn’t be up and running again for nine months due to the damage, but were back and brewing in nine days.

2002

Audrey Elder becomes Chairperson succeeding Anthony Jenner. Adele Smith (niece of Audrey) and Julia Prescott (daughter of Audrey) sit on the company’s Board of Directors.

1952

Harvey’s wins first award for XXXX on Draught (Old Ale)

1957

Harvey’s receive yeast from Tadcaster Brewery after the breakdown of the Pure Yeast Company. This same yeast strain, 3000 generations later, is still used today.

1960

Catastrophic Floods leave Cliffe High Street under water for nearly a week, the brewery carries on despite severe disruption to production.

2006–2011

Eighth generation family members Zoë Prescott and Peter Nicholas join the company, and Hamish Elder becomes Harvey’s Chairperson.

1980

1862

John Harvey dies, and Henry and Edwin die within days of each other. William runs the business alone with Henry Titlow-Barrett from Wethereds Brewery, Marlow. William dies in 1868.

1881

The present Gothic Victorian brewery was built under the supervision of Titlow-Barrett, having been designed by famed brewery architect, William Bradford. 16

OUR INGREDIENTS & ENVIRONMENTAL CREDENTIALS Rainfall

Local Whole Hops

Rainfall which has filtered over 30 years through the Sussex chalk downs is drawn from our artesian well some sixty feet below the brewery, and stored in the liquor reservoir at the top of the Harvey’s Tower.

Harvey’s use whole hops from Sussex, Kent and Surrey and we have worked closely with our hop farmers for many years. They are delivered to us in 70kg Hop Pockets

Having our own supply preserves a regional flavour to our beers, and should preserve Harvey’s brewing for generations to come. Water is replenished by the South Downs, and drawn up from Harvey’s wells

Malt

Yeast At over 60 years old the Harvey’s yeast strain is unique to our brewery. Countless generations of yeast cells from our 1957 consignment have passed through our fermenting room, as the crop from each week’s brewing is re-pitched into the next.

We brew with Maris Otter malted barley, the product of a long programme of cross selection dating back to the early 1900s, and much prized by cask ale brewers.

Our yeast contributes to 50% of the final flavour of Harvey’s beers

Green Credentials

Packaging

Harvey’s are aware of the need to create an environmentally stable business. Many factors that contribute to our green credentials have always been part of our traditional production methods and local partnerships, which have been inherent in the brewing industry for many years.

SOUTHDOWN HARVEST

FOOD PAIRING Southdown Harvest with Humous and Roasted Vegetables

Three types of hop and three different malts culminate on the palate providing soft, sweet biscuit flavours offset with a tangy bitterness from the ‘green’ hops.

AWARDS From ‘UK Brewer of the Year’ to numerous World Beer accolades, our team have been producing award-winning beers as far back as 1952. Being awarded locally, nationally and internationally means a great deal to us. We hope the dedication of our team, and consistency of quality continues to be recognised for years to come. We are, after all, only as good as our last pint.

ALC 5% VOL | Available September

2019 ORIGIN Brewed annually in September in celebration of the age old interaction between brewing and agriculture.

BITTER

The light malt sweetness of the Southdown Harvest makes a perfect match for the slightly caramelised skin of the vegetables. The green hop grassiness provides brightness to lift the dish, and just enough hop bitterness to cut through each spoonful of that creamy dip. You could also try pairing it with a couscous salad or even a summer pudding.

Light amber in colour, this emboldened IPA has potent hop notes on the nose, suggestive of ripe orange marmalade alongside the sweetness of tinned mandarins. The bold English hop character continues on the palate, with more citrus, plus a grassiness and a restrained sweetness redolent of a Bakewell tart. The finish has a dryness that suggests a witty aside in the pub, a putdown said with affection and compassion. How about trying it with roast chicken, roast potatoes and peas — the beer adds a succulence to the chicken, with its bitterness cutting through the fat.

BITTER

Brewed for bonfire night, this chestnut-coloured ale has bags of toffee and caramel on the nose, and develops on the palate with rich, fruity sweetness and a pleasing toastiness, happily evoking bonfire toffee rather than the bonfire itself. It complements the caramelisation of grilled or barbecued meats quite wonderfully, and harmonises really well with ginger and cinnamon, making it a perfect match for any kind of tagine.

CHRISTMAS PUDDING AS A BEER

Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club

Following on from success in MasterChef I was able to fulfil my dream of opening my first restaurant, and Pitch, Worthing, was born! It was crucial for me to find a range of beers that fit with the quality of the restaurant, and having used Harvey’s to make the winning dessert in the final of MasterChef it was a natural choice. For me this is the ultimate craft product. Natural spring water, local hops and high-quality malted barley make for wonderful drinking, but what makes it really special are the people that sit behind Harvey’s. It’s a family and the passion is infectious.

I fell in love with Harvey’s first and foremost for their quality and consistency, we find a lot of their beers perform really well against our lager range. The Gold Bier has become a great alternative for a lot of our guests. Harvey’s makes very reliable products and I always know that if I’m buying Harvey’s it’s going to be quality product. The relationship is one that I really value, between the product quality and people, that’s what makes it for me.

ABOUT The golden colour is derived from a premium malted barley originally grown for continental lagers, and is best served chilled.

AWARDS

There’s something extremely satisfying about sipping upon a crisp beer while feasting on seafood or a picnic. Calamari, for instance, makes people think of holidays. And picnics are representative of time-out and relaxation. Hummus and guacamole are great for crudities and also an anytime-of-day snack good with a refreshing beer.

ABOUT Pale, crystal and black malt sugars are balanced by the bitterness of Fuggle and Golding aroma hops to create this fresh, dry beer.

STRAW

Full of treacle, smoke and dried fruits this is a real peaty serious stout. There are so many foods you could pair Harvey’s Black Stout, with a dryness that refreshes the palate, it acts as an aperitif. For me this is crying out to sit alongside game especially the big iron-y hit of rare venison, root vegetables and rich gravy. It’s the smouldering smokey, woody hit that brings this to life. It is a proper drink. Kenny Tutt: Masterchef Champion and Restaurateur.

Wharf IPA and Frittata

ORIGIN Wharf IPA is brewed using hop varieties grown in Sussex and Kent. The imagery on the can is of the Wharf opposite the brewery site which sits on the river Ouse where the brewery was established in 1790.

These hints pair perfectly with a rich meaty dish such as roast lamb, and also have the power to cut through and enhance a quiche or frittata.

IBC 2019: Silver | IBC 2018: Bronze | BBI 2018: Silver | BBI 2017: Gold

Its toffee malt base and just a touch of caramelised sugar perfectly complement the sweet notes in the sauce, and bring out the very best in those tastiest, crispiest and slightly scorched edges of the tofu.

FOOD PAIRING

English hops are considered by some to be less exciting than their American counterparts, but this beer showcases them in all their grassy, herby, spicy glory, providing a wonderfully complex and pleasing aroma. On the palate it evokes the English hedgerow, with hints of mint, grass, pepper, rosemary and figs.

AWARDS

Nothing beats a bowl of noodles for a quick and tasty weeknight supper. I like them stirfried with tofu and vegetables, and drenched in a glossy sesame and chilli sauce. A can of Malt Brown is more than robust enough to stand up to this tasty dish.

ORIGIN This strong barley wine is reminiscent of the “October Ales” which were brewed in domestic brew houses during the reign of Elizabeth I. Based on the iconic Elizabethan Ale, a firm favourite that has been in production at Harvey’s for over 65 years.

There is patience here and it makes for a really complex dark full bodied ale with a real depth of flavour. The sweet bouncy malt and savoury finish makes it perfect for a big traditional ploughman’s or plate of strong cheese and dry smoked ham. There’s a rich sweetness that could mellow a bold blue cheese and would most certainly lift a smokey plate of barbecued meats. Kenny Tutt: Masterchef Champion and Restaurateur.

Harvey’s produce a range of award-winning specialty beers that are available in bottle year round and very rarely in cask. Some of these premium beers mature in tank over long periods; our Imperial Extra Double Stout is in tank for 18 months, and Prince of Denmark for nine months.
