Harveys Brewery, Grade II* listed brewery in Lewes, England.
Harveys Brewery sits beside the River Ouse in Lewes with a Victorian tower and brew house that you can see from Cliffe Bridge in town. The building is a listed structure that shapes the riverbank with its distinctive architecture.
John Harvey founded the brewery in 1790 at Bridge Wharf by the river, and it has brewed continuously at that same spot ever since. The location by the water has been central to the operation for more than two centuries.
The brewery keeps to traditional brewing methods that visitors can notice in how the place operates daily. Local ingredients and a special yeast strain passed down for generations shape the beer you can taste here.
You can join guided tours to see how things work and visit the brewery shop to buy draught beer, bottles, and small kegs. Home delivery is available if you want to order beer without carrying it away.
The brewery doubled its production in 1984 by adding a second brewing line to meet growing demand. This expansion marks a key moment when the operation moved beyond its original single-line setup.
