Burning Sky Brewery

Lewes

Burning Sky began as a brewer's dream. The dream of a long-term brewer with a love of both punchy hop-forward pales and of the beautiful Belgian beer tradition. A brewer's brewery, blessed with a small, talented team of like-minded people. Located in the foothills of the beautiful and inspirational South Downs is the stunning small village of Firle. Here, steam wafts from refurbished farm buildings where we make our beer. We are a true farmhouse brewery. Producing our first beer in the Autumn of 2013, our vision was to strive in a quest to make world-class beers across all styles and formats – embracing brewing traditions in harmony with modern methods and tastes. Today, that vision remains the same.

Cloak & Dagger Brewing

Worthing

Downlands Brewery

Henfield

It’s safe to say that we love beer. In fact we love beer so much that we started our own brewery and it’s an employment requirement that everyone who joins our team shares that passion. Obviously we’re a business so we have to make a profit each year so we can carry on working in the industry we love and we’ve been doing that for over a decade by making the best beer that we can. We firmly believe that beer is a social beverage that tastes better if you’re consuming it in a pub, bar, or club and even more so if you’re engaged in conversation. We’ve built our operation around this belief which is why we don’t package any of our products in bottles or cans. We do not have a shop or taproom and we do not sell direct to the general public.

They also emphasise independence and a commitment to both heritage and their local community.
