Sussex Ale Works Signature Brews

Ales are our jam and that leaves us tons of room for creativity. As our Alesmiths Rick & Sloane wrestle yeast, manipulate temperatures, and choose grains & hops, they do it in a way they think locals will appreciate. They believe hard work tastes better and put a whole lot of effort making sure that comes through in every sip. We are a small batch brewery so on any given day you may find three, four or even eight of the brews below on tap but rarely all. Plan on dropping in often!
