We Wunt be Druv
As a native of East Sussex, one of the first pints of beer I drank was Harvey's and when I went to college in Lewes the town was dominated by, if not the sight, then definitely the smell of Harvey's Brewery.
In 2011 I approached Harvey's Ale with a view to documenting the brewing process. I spent several weeks photographing the people and the production at the brewery.
Harvey's brewery was founded in 1790 and has stuck to traditional brewing methods providing some exceptional beers such as Sussex Best and Eastbourne Star.
'We wunt be druv' is the unofficial motto of Sussex, indicating the tenacity of Sussex natives who won't be driven! In recent years Harvey's have included the phrase on their beer mats, bar towels etc.
