Sussex Stronghold

Harvey's Brewery

£27.5

Brewed to celebrate Sussex Day on 16th June, Sussex Stronghold is a limited edition 6.0% beer made entirely with Sussex-grown ingredients. Using barley from Upwaltham and hops from all five of Sussex’s remaining hop growers, this warming pale barley wine delivers ripe stone fruit flavours, luscious malt character and a balanced hop bitterness. As we say in Sussex: We Wunt Be Druv

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as HARVEY & SON (LEWES) LIMITED, number 00235093. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "With his sons, John Harvey acquired the current Bridge Wharf Site in 1838 for the price of GBP 3,100." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
