I ordered a dozen bottles of Harvey's Albion to sip while watching the footie

Unfortunately, they shipped the wrong beer (Armada) so I asked if they would kindly exchange

Just had the reply

Hello

I am sorry about this ‘mis-pick’, I’ll send the correct product today for you

Are you OK to share the incorrect beer with friends/ colleagues? This will avoid the costly collection fee’s couriers charge and hopefully bring some joy.

Kind Regards

Was the Armada beer any good? I've never liked the 'Albion'.

Armada is OK. Our local farm shop has a large range (not including Albion). Tom Paine is my usual in bottles, Sussex Best on tap

That's the place. Although they have recently gone from 6 bottles to 5 bottles for £15

As you're in the same village, you're welcome to share the Armada, courtesy of Harveys!

That’s great. I was told a few years ago that all ingredients for Harvey’s except finings came from a distance no further than a horse drawn cart could travel in a day, not just environmentally friendly but supporting local businesses too. Until recently it was only available in places within the same radius.

A lot of the waste products go to Plumpton agricultural college as fertiliser or feed and their bottle re-use policy is also exemplary. Add in just how much of community life in Lewes they sponsor directly or subsidise through low cost provision of beer to allow community groups to receive more of the sale price and they are pretty much the perfect business. Miles Jenner should get in the honours at some point.

Do you reckon I could try that one out in the West Upper bars tomorrow?
