Brewery and Shop Update: Week 2 (Covid-19)

Much like many others in our industry we are adapting daily to the new challenges we face in the Covid -19  pandemic.

We are glad to still be brewing, and to have an amazing core team who are going above and beyond to keep the show on the road on site.

Please find the latest update from our Head Brewer, Miles Jenner, from inside our brewhouse:

"Yesterday we brewed Best Bitter for the first time in nearly three weeks and the fermentation is underway. We are operating in small teams, suitably separated and/or working in isolation. Our Second Brewer, Peter Yarlett, oversaw the entire operation with two members of staff.

Today we filled 500ml bottles and 5 litre kegs of Best Bitter with a team of four. We are seeing a growing demand from off licences and on-line sales for deliveries to domestic customers. We hope to operate on this basis throughout the state of emergency, keep our yeast strain alive and supply the many customers who continue to support us in their own homes.

Take care and stay safe, as we intend to do."

Our online shop continues to run in a limited capacity, with stock added daily, and picked and packed by our one-man-band in the depot.

Please get in touch on shop@harveys.org.uk should you have enquiries.
