It's amazing what AI can do these days. Look at this faded image of our little pub before its 1920s remodelling and see how AI has brought it back to life. Interesting the different spelling of Sidney in those days. We then asked AI to colourise it. I guess we'll never know how accurate that version is...

South Coast IPA has been flying out since its return!

Bright, hoppy and refreshing, with citrus, grapefruit and tropical fruit flavours, this 5% pale ale is the perfect pint to enjoy in the weekend sunshine.

Brewed here at Harvey’s with Brighton Bier founder Gary Sillence back in the brewhouse to help faithfully revive this modern Sussex classic.

You’ll find it pouring on cask at selected Harvey’s pubs and stockists throughout August, but don’t hang around, it won’t be around for long! 🍻
