Lewes Beer Mile

About

We've clubbed together with our friends at Beak, ABYSS and Harvey's to create the Lewes Beer Mile - connecting Lewes' rich brewing history with its thriving new scene of craft breweries.

Our BrewCafe at the Malling Community Centre marks one end of the route, with Beak's taproom at the other.  In between you have two more stops: The John Harvey Tavern and the ABYSS brewery + Tap.

Grab a map (available at each stop, and the town Tourist Office in the precinct opposite W H Smiths), enjoy a bevvy and collect a stamp at each venue.  When you've visited all four, you get a special edition Lewes Beer Mile tote bag - great for carrying home some souvenir cans.

The Lewes Beer Mile is built to amble: as well as world class beers, all four locations sell low and non-alcoholic beers, a variety of wines, plus lots of alcohol-free drinks, alongside great food options (and FREE DOG BISCUITS).

There's no set route and no need to complete it all in one day, so you can go and explore the rest of Lewes.  As well as the big Castle and Anne of Cleves House you can take in the historic Lewes Town Hall (which itself used to be an inn!) and watch a show at the All Saints Centre or a movie at The Depot cinema.  During the football season, you can catch a game at Lewes FC's world-famous Dripping Pan ground.  And in the summer, you can brave a dip in the freshwater Pells Pool or walk the grounds of the ruined Lewes Priory.  And be sure to check out the town's numerous pubs, independent stores, eateries and art galleries.
