Over the Moon at The Countryman, West Sussex

We are pleased to announce that we will be selling a a new winter brew called ‘OVER THE MOON’ now being sold until end of February. It is brewed by the Dark Star brewery in Partridge Green.

A brief history on the Dark Star brewery

Dark Star was originally the name of a porter developed by Rob Jones when he was emoloyed by the Pitfield Brewery. The name ‘Dark Star’ comes from the Grateful Dead stong and was highly successful, being voted Champion Beer of Britain in 1987. Rob Jones took the ’secret’ recipe with him when he moved to the brewery based at the Evening Star. The beer itself is now known as Dark Star original.

The Dark Star Brewing Company was launched in 1994 in the cellar of The Evening Star Pub, Brighton. It became apparent that the brewery could not keep up with up with their customers, so in 2001 the brewery relocated to a new purpose-built brewery in near Haywards Heath, and finally, a third move to a 16,000 square foot site in Partridge Green, which makes the Dark Star Brewing Company our closest brewery.

Enjoy great ales at The Countryman pub in West Sussex

Over the Moon is 3.8 ABV so you can enjoy a few without falling over. Remember that The Countryman is in the CAMRA guide and is a popular pub in West Sussex with a wide range of good quality ales and great food.

Farm Shop at The Countryman West Sussex

Due to popular demand, we have started planning to start work on the Countryman Farm Shop. The Countryman Farm Shop will consist of a new area dedicated to showcasing produce from local suppliers. As well as our own homegrown produce there will be fresh vegetables from keen local gardeners, homemade chutneys and preserves, local cheese and cold meat selection, homemade bread and cakes, and fresh milk, cream and eggs from various farms.

Many of the vegetables that you will see are from the same suppliers that we use for our freshly cooked food at The Countryman – the best country pub in West Sussex.

A few interesting facts about Farmers Markets

The first farmers’ market started 13 years ago in 1997 and there are now over 500! This proves the greedy supermarkets haven’t completely won! On the contrary –  these statistics prove that the public want fresh, high quality food and they want to support local farmers and suppliers. Farmers markets are usually held on a weekly or monthly basis – the emphasis being on quality and freshness. When you talk to the stallholder, you will normally find that you are talking to the actual farmer that grew the produce for sale!  Source: Alliance & Leicester Commercial Banking news.

Our Farm Shop will be open every day!

Once our farm shop is open, you will not have to wait a whole month to buy your fresh food, as our shop will be open every day during The Countryman pub opening hours. We will update you on the progress of the our new farm shop regularly.
