Drink % Brewery
Amstel 4.1 Heineken

Our classic, golden Amstel Beer, with its very distinctive and mildly bitter taste, has over the years become well known beyond the borders of its native country.

Tasting Notes: 

Armada Ale 4.5 Harvey's Brewery

Armada Ale has a pronounced yet balanced hop character, derived from Fuggle and Golding hops.

Tasting Notes: Dry-hopped. A golden ale with a vibrant hop tone and a dry finish. Robust, refreshing and still a port of call in any beer-drinker’s voyage of discovery.

Becks 5.0 Becks

Every bottle of Becks is brewed according to the uncompromising German Reinheitsgebot (Purity law). With a strong and committed heritage, Becks has had only 6 brew masters throughout a 125 year history.

Tasting Notes: Our original Becks is a classic German lager beer with a distinctive full-bodied taste, fresh "hoppy" bouquet, golden colour and a full rich head. Adding to its complexity is a slightly fruity but firm crispness and a dry, clean finish.

Birra Moretti 4.6 Heineken

The ultimate Italian lager since 1859, Birra Moretti’s special blend of high quality hops creates a smooth, full bodied beer with wholemeal bread top notes which are cut by a delicate citrus note.

Tasting Notes: It is a bottom fermented beer with a golden colour. This colouring is a result of the type of malt used in brewing. Its alcohol content is 4.6% alcohol by volume. It is not a strong beer and is therefore perfect for drinking at lunch, at dinner or for evenings out with friends

Budweiser 5 Budweiser

Fresh and subtle fruit notes, a delicate malt sweetness and balanced bitterness for a clean, snappy finish.

Tasting Notes: Budweiser is a medium-bodied, flavorful, crisp and pure beer with blended layers of premium American and European hop aromas, brewed for the perfect balance of flavor and refreshment.

Camden Hells Lager 4.6 Camden Town Brewery

Hells is the lovechild of their two favourite German beer styles - Helles and Pilsner. Clean, crisp and dry.

Tasting Notes: A classic lager that’s exactly what it should be: easy-drinking, crisp and dry with beautiful bubbles. Clean and refreshing with a dry hop finish, you can taste the great depth of flavour which comes from the long, slow maturation in tank. This is how a great lager should taste.

Camden Pale Ale 4.0 Camden Town Brewery

They crafted this beer to more British tastes. Made with American hops, it’s still got all the punch of a pale ale. Just less shouty.

Tasting Notes: A light & refreshing taste profile balanced with spicy and lemony notes for sweetness.

Foster's 3.7 Heineken

Foster's is the ultimate ice-cold refreshment. Its balance of subtle fruitiness and vanilla is ideal for the sweeter-toothed lager lover. The perfect session beer to enjoy with mates.

Tasting Notes: A light-coloured lager style, it presents full malt character with a balanced clean hop bitterness. Combined with a slightly hoppy, but yeasty/malty nose, Foster's lager is a full bodied beer with excellent drinkability.

Guinness Draught 4.2 Guinness

One of the world's best-loved beers, with sweet smelling aromas of coffee and malt, from the first velvety sip to the last, lingering drop, every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between is pure beauty… pure Guinness.

Tasting Notes: Unmistakeably GUINNESS®, from the first velvet sip to the last, lingering drop and every deep-dark satisfying mouthful in between.

Harveys Porter 4.8 Harvey's Brewery

Harveys Porter is brewed from our own recipe dating from 1859. In 1999 it was chosen as the ‘Ultimate Pizza Beer’ in the Beauty of Hops awards.

Tasting Notes: A complex, dark and full-bodied beer with prominent roasted malts, reminiscent of date sugars, and a restrained fruitiness.

Old Ale 4.3 Harvey's Brewery

Old Ale was Harvey's Brewery's first beer to win a National Award in 1952. Soft and full bodied, with hints of dried fruits and dates, this is a dark, warming brew that's a firm favourite during the autumn and winter months. Burnt sugars and roasted malts compliment the premium Maris Otter barley, supplanting the light bitterness of aroma hops.

Tasting Notes: Soft and full-bodied, with hints of dried fruits and dates. Rich, dark and warming. To be enjoyed in the autumn and winter months by a roaring fire.

Olympia 4.2 Harvey's Brewery

It was first produced in 2005 to celebrate our major summer award at Kensington Olympia for Best Bitter.

Tasting Notes: A cool golden summer ale. Very refreshing with a balanced complexity.

Pilsner 4.0 Harvey's Brewery

Our Pilsner has a sweet aroma and a soft, bready taste. The layered bitterness is derived from Lubelski hops. Brewed using pale and lightly roasted malts, combined with Munich malt.

Tasting Notes:

Lewes Castle Brown Ale 4.8 Harvey's Brewery
