Harvey's Brewery to be sold?

[Lord Bracknell]

... to Shepherd Neame.




RUMOUR.

Anyone know anything?

 

[dougdeep]

I damnwell hope not.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

That's ridiculous

 

[acrossthepond]

it's not worth getting bitter about it.....

 

[Dover]

Nothing on the financial pages, at the time of writing.

 

[dougdeep]

I would hate this to happen, but if any brewery were to take them over, I suppose Shepherd Neame would be the best choice.

 

[Dover]

Alo nothing on Shit & Screams site.

 

[PaoloRossiJohnson]

What's your sauce...?

 

[hitony]

I have a very close friend within the Shepherd Neame brewery, and by all accounts its 100% actuall fact !! sorry lads

 

[The Oldman]

No! That is the end!

 

[ROSM]

If true, without doubt the scariest thing I've read on here for a long while.

 

[dougdeep]

We should start a protest group and refuse to buy any S+N products.

 

[JSD Albion]

Nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lord Bracknell]

What's your sauce...?

Pale Ale for preference, when it's available, but Best Bitter usually. Or Old. Or Elizabethan. Or Tom Paine. Or ....


As for my source, two of them, quite independent of each other.

One ... a promising* young local journalist in Hastings.

Two ... someone (also in Hastings) in the world of bonfire.



* some of his promises never seem to materialise, however.

 

[Gwylan]

That's truly, truly tragic. There must be a protest about this.

 

[Woodchip]

RIP Harveys' Old Ale

Arise Sheperd Neame's Old Ale

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Harvey,s is Lewes. Keep it.

 

[Barnham Seagull]

This is terrible if its true, I buy Blue Label and Tom Paine for a bar in Chichester and if this happens will stop doing so!

Harveys is a Sussex institution maybe we need to put barb wire round our borders and stop these pikeys from Kent getting in.

On a serious note isnt Harveys still family owned? if so it can only be sold if the owners have had there heads turned by a large offer. Harveys is a succesful brewery so it cant be for financial problems?

mmmmmmmmm down goes another pint of Best

 

[Strike]

Nooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!
