Gun Brewery – Taproom and Brewery Tours in The Heart of the Sussex Weald

Gun Brewery have been perfecting the art of making beer since 2014. Based on an organic farm just outside Chiddingly, working in harmony with the local environment the brewery have created a sustainable business generating their own solar power as well as great beer! In 2020, and with 2 million pints under their belt, the team decided they were ready to expand. Cue the build of a brand new brewery, including cold store, production space and most importantly a tap room where guests can visit the site and sample the goods. Fast forward to May this year and the build is complete. Taproom open. Beer waiting to be sampled. Living locally I’d heard many good things about Gun Brewery and was eager to see what they’d created – so I popped over one sunny Sunday afternoon with family in tow, to see for myself and of course, taste some of the good stuff.

About the Taproom

Located on Gun Hill the Taproom is open between Thursday and Sunday every week. They serve 12 keg and 4 cask lines of their own brews, as well as wine and soft drinks. They also host a variety of local pop-up food vendors serving a wide range of food options from crepes, tacos, tagine and pizza. They have a list of dates with planned vendors on their website and social media to make it easy to plan for specific tastes. Children and dogs on leads are welcome.

The taproom is in a stunning location, embracing its rural roots with sweeping views across the surrounding farm land. There’s plenty of seating both inside and out with a large terrace perfect for taking in hazy sunsets with a cold one.

For anyone wanting to follow the beer making journey first-hand the brewery offer tours where you can learn about the history of Gun and their beer making process while enjoying a few samples on the way. Tours cost £20 and take around an hour to complete.

I’m not a beer expert but I like quite the light refreshment of a cold lager. I was recommended sampling a selection of IPA Flights (small glasses of beer allowing you a taste without committing to a full pint) including How’s the Serenity?, Summer Dry Hopped and Spin Drift. All quite distinct in their own flavours Summer Dry Hopped won me over with its delicious citrus tones. Beer in hand it was time to order some food.

We chose to visit when The Dough Miky Pizza was on offer knowing this would be a hit with the kids. We weren’t disappointed. Freshly baked, doughy delights covered in bronzed mozzarella provided the perfect pairing for our beers. Happy tummies with plenty of space for the kids to roam.  What more could you want? We were really impressed with our visit to the brewery – staff were welcoming and knowledgeable and the setting really is hard to beat. If only they provided a taxi service too….!

Visit Harvey’s Brewery, Abyss Brewing Co. & Beak Brewery on this monthly beer tour with tastings included.

Harvey’s Brewery

Harvey’s brewery, located in the heart of Lewes, has a history that dates back over 200 years. The brewery was founded in 1790 by John Harvey, a local businessman who saw an opportunity to tap into the growing demand for beer in the area.

Over the years, Harvey’s brewery has become an integral part of Lewes’ cultural and economic landscape. The brewery has survived fires, wars, and financial hardships, but has always managed to come out on top thanks to its commitment to quality and innovation.

One of the key factors that sets Harvey’s apart from other breweries is its use of traditional brewing methods. The brewery still uses open-topped fermenters, which allow for the natural fermentation of the beer, resulting in a richer, more complex flavor profile.

Harvey’s is also known for its commitment to sustainability. The brewery uses locally sourced ingredients whenever possible, and has implemented a number of eco-friendly practices in its operations, such as using solar panels to generate electricity.

Today, Harvey’s brewery is a beloved institution in Lewes, and its beers are enjoyed by people all over the world. From its flagship Sussex Best Bitter to its award-winning Imperial Stout, Harvey’s continues to produce some of the finest beers in the country, staying true to its roots while embracing the future.

Abyss Brewing Co

Abyss Brewing Co is a relatively new addition to Lewes’ brewing scene, having opened its doors in 2017. Despite its youth, however, Abyss has already made a name for itself as one of the most innovative and exciting breweries in the area.

The brewery takes its name from the deep, dark, and mysterious depths of the ocean, and this sense of adventure and experimentation is reflected in its beers. Abyss Brewing Co specializes in small-batch, handcrafted beers that are often infused with unusual ingredients and flavors.

One of the brewery’s most popular creations is its Bacon Brown Ale, a rich and smoky beer that is made with real bacon. Other notable beers include the Mango and Jalapeño Sour, the Peanut Butter Porter, and the Nitro Cold Brew Coffee Stout.

Despite its focus on experimentation, however, Abyss is also committed to using only the highest quality ingredients and traditional brewing techniques. The brewery uses only locally sourced hops and malts, and all of its beers are brewed and fermented on site in small batches.

Visitors to Abyss can sample the brewery’s creations in its cosy taproom, which is decorated with nautical-themed artwork and features a rotating selection of beers on tap. The brewery also hosts regular events, including live music, trivia nights, and food truck festivals.

Whether you’re a die-hard beer enthusiast or just looking for a fun and educational activity, a brewery tour in Lewes is not to be missed. So why not book a tour today and discover the fascinating world of craft beer in one of England’s most historic and picturesque towns?

Beak Brewery

Beak Brewery is a small, independent craft brewery located in the heart of Lewes, East Sussex. Founded in 2012 by brewer Johnny Clayton, Beak Brewery is known for its contemporary approach to brewing, using progressive techniques and unconventional ingredients to create unique and exciting beers.

The brewery’s ethos is centered on experimentation and creativity, with each beer crafted to challenge the boundaries of traditional brewing. From hop-forward IPAs to rich, complex stouts, Beak Brewery offers a diverse range of beers that showcase the brewery’s passion for innovation and excellence.

One of the brewery’s most popular beers is its Karaoke King IPA, a juicy, tropical IPA that is bursting with fruity flavors and aromas. Another standout beer is its Mocha Mild, a rich and indulgent dark ale that is brewed with chocolate and coffee for a decadent, dessert-like experience.

Beak Brewery is committed to using only the finest quality ingredients, sourcing hops and malts from both England and abroad. The brewery also uses environmentally friendly practices in its operations, such as recycling water and using renewable energy sources.

Visitors to Beak Brewery can sample the brewery’s creations in its taproom, which is open on Fridays and Saturdays. The taproom offers a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, with plenty of seating and a rotating selection of beers on tap. The brewery also hosts a variety of events, including beer tastings, live music, and food pop-ups.

Brewery Tours

Harvey’s brewery tour.

Our brewery tour is not simply a walk around with a guide; it is a chance for us to meet our customers and give an insight to the art of brewing at Harvey’s. The informal sampling session that follows is a catalyst for one to one questions and answers.  We also gain a great insight from the experience and it is always a pleasure to entertain our customers in this manner.

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.

BOOK NOW Tours are available to book from April 2nd 2024 here:  https://thelittleboxoffice.com/harveys/ 

Tours operate outside of brewery working hours: Normally Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at 18:30 but there are some 16:00 slots as well occasional weekend tours .

Please see dates on the above link, which will be supplemented on a monthly basis.

Information Tours last approximately 90 minutes and cost £15.00pp including VAT and a booking fee.

Admittance is restricted to persons over the age of 18.

Our tower brewery is a Grade II Listed building and contains a number of staircases. Regrettably, this makes tours unsuitable for wheelchair users and those with limited mobility. Please ensure that your footwear is appropriate and avoid high heels.

Cidery Tour & Tasting

Regular price £20.00

Enjoy a cider tasting and tour at our beautiful East Sussex orchard and cidery!

Each tour with Bignose & Beardy includes...

• A tour of the orchard, seeing the trees, how they grow and produce apples for cider
• A hands on tour of the cidery, seeing the press, tanks and other facilities used to make our cider
• A tutored tasting and history of all our ciders sitting out among the apple trees (or in the cidery if it is wet)
• Stay on after the tour and enjoy free entry to our tap night with live music, food and cider (when running on the same date)

Bignose & Beardy make real vintage Sussex cider and vinegar using local waste fruit. Our ciders are wild fermented, slow matured, unfiltered and unpastuerised. We produce small batches which change in profile with each year, depending on the source of the apples and the weather. We do everything by hand and leave our ciders to mature for at least a year and often longer, resulting in complex flavours. Our ciders are Eastern Counties or New World in style, fresh, acidic, fruity, floral and delicious.

Add a discounted three bottle gift pack to make this a great gift idea for a cider fan - we'll send it out when we receive your booking. If you would like a gift voucher, just drop us an email.

The Cidery is at: Upper Brookhouse Farmhouse, Brookhouse Lane, Framfield, TN22 5QJ

If you're seeking "fizz and festivals" look no further than Castlewood Vineyard in Devon, said Condé Nast Traveller . Its story began in 2006 on a south-facing Devon hillside overlooking the River Axe with owner Rob Corbett planting his vines by hand. Now the vineyard offers private tours and a June festival, held to celebrate the release of the latest vintage.

Gwinllan Conwy Vineyard, Conwy

There are vineyards "blossoming" all across Wales, said Natasha Lovell-Smith on Great British Food Awards . And one of the most popular is Gwinllan Conwy, which has received multiple national and international awards. Set against the stunning backdrop of the Snowdonia Mountain Range, the "success" of this vineyard is "underpinned by the microclimate" of north Wales, which "pairs resemblance" to the climate of New Zealand. Thanks to its proximity to the sea, this means the vineyard "experiences mild winters allowing the vines to develop earlier". This beautiful vineyard offers tours and wine tasting experiences throughout the year and at the online shop you can buy Welsh artisan produce or Welsh hampers, as well as wine. gwinllanconwy.co.uk

Llanerch Vineyard, Glamorgan

Tucked into the Welsh countryside, yet only 20 minutes from Cardiff, Llanerch Vineyard offers "a drop of romance", said Kerry Walker in The Daily Telegraph . While the vineyard itself is centred on a "whitewashed farmhouse" from 1851 and pulls off the "delicate act of combining original features", the hotel rooms are "bright and contemporary". Beyond the hotel and wine, is the "perkily turreted Neo-Gothic" Hensol Castle which is only a 15-minute walk away. But where Llanerch really "shines" is its restaurant which overlooks the vineyard and offers "great" food and "bang-on" service. You may "come for a wine tour" but you'll "stay for the imaginative locally sourced food". llanerch.co.uk

Ryedale Vineyards, North Yorkshire

The most northerly vineyard in Britain, Ryedale offers more than wine – it also makes cider from the estate's orchards. Voted one of the best vineyards to visit and tour in England, it offers an "informal, humorous and informative guided tour". For those wanting to stay, Ryedale has two "cosy en suite rooms in the farmhouse", said The Guardian , and the "slap-up breakfast" is the "perfect way to start a day" exploring the surrounding North Yorkshire wolds. ryedalevineyards.co.uk
