This is a craft beer venue, beers ranged from dark to light and there was also a very interesting sour. The pub opens early and does a very good breakfast which we enjoyed before the days crawl and proper builders tea. We also called in the night before the crawl as space is limited, the locals were friendly and my stout went down a treat along with the Soor Plooms. Well worth a visit.

A charming ,small indie beer bar with an eclectic and constantly changing selection of keg beers from 10 wall mounted taps.Walk past the bar and there are two sections with seating and a darts board. I chose a Brew Toon Soor Plooms ,mixing both sweet and sour notes ,very refreshing after a long days drinking.The other taps were offering brews from Gun,Vibrant Forest x2,Saison Dupont,Triple fff,Pilot cider,Six North,FLOC,and Westmalle.There were a mix of styles including a stout ,and some continental brews .Food is available ,simple cheesy chips tasted very good.
Worth a visit to sample interesting indie beers and a friendly welcome,I would always pop in on any crawl around town.

The Patch is undoubtedly the place to go for craft beer choice in Lewes. There are a number of very decent pubs for cask enthusiasts in the town and so I like to think Lewes makes for a great place to head to for a town crawl, particularly when you add in the two immediately local breweries Beak and Abyss and now an outlet in the town for another local brewery Only With Love. The place is well described physically in the reviews below. More enjoyable of a weekend afternoon when the venue isn't being shared between those heading there for a sarnie or to work on their laptop and those there for its primary function!

The line up on my latest visit (9 of the 10 taps were dispensing) was Atemporal Pale from Heathen Brewers, Chouffe Session, Point Blanc from Little Monster, the stout from Moor, Pilot - a cider from Ascension, Albion - a Helles from UnBarred, a rhubarb Belgian beer that I didn't note the details of, Vatted Porter from Burning Sky and a DIPA called Broz Night Out from the Veil brewery.

Visited yesterday late afternoon and the venue became busy after a number that had headed to Lewes to attend a beer festival at Beak had to find some (indoor) alternatives as the weather resulted in the cancellation of the Beak festival. Am sure most if not all of those affected would have thought of Patch as their venue of alternative choice yesterday.
