Trade Organisations

British brewing has long been a fraternal industry. The social interaction among brewers and the need to share technical information has always outweighed any competitive thoughts of recipe protection. To this mutually beneficial end, a number of trade bodies and specialist organisations have evolved.

Harvey and Son (Lewes) Ltd is affiliated with the following Organisations:

• The British Beer and Pub Association BBPA (The industry's primary professional organisation).
• Campaign for Real Ale CAMRA (The nation's most successful consumer body).
• Cask Marque (Independent accreditation for cask ale quality).
• Association of Licensed Multiple Retailers ALMR (The pub trade's leading professional body).
• The British institute of Innkeeping BII (the Independent pub operators central advisory body).
• The Worshipful Company of Brewers (Livery company, founded 1315 ).
• The All Parliamentary Beer group (political association).
• The Independent Family Brewers Association. IFBA (heritage brewers).
• The Beer Academy (retail training organisation).
• The Brewers Guild (beer production).
• The Brewery research Foundation (scientific Research & Development).

Harveys seeks to employ the best practice of the brewing industry and traditional pub trade. Our activities consider Responsible Trading issues at all times.
