Ouse Booze
A 6.5% replica of the beer that came out of the Lewes flood of 12 October 2000, when the day's half-finished brews were combined and left to ferment as the river raged beneath the brewery. The original was sold in aid of the flood appeal. For the 25th anniversary Harvey's brewed it again with the same techniques, malt and hops from the original growers: smooth and full-bodied, gently sweet, with abundant hop character.
