Founded in 2018 by Gareth Harries and Gemma Clegg, Beer No Evil has quickly become a hub for craft beer lovers in Worthing, along the Sussex coast and beyond.

Known for its carefully curated selection of independent beers from innovative UK and European breweries, the shop has built a loyal following and community thanks to its knowledgeable service, friendly atmosphere, and tasting events with some of the UKs top Brewers. The Times and Sunday Times feature celebrates Beer No Evil’s commitment to championing independent breweries and providing a welcoming space for both seasoned craft beer enthusiasts and curious newcomers.

As well as a nod to their Natural and Planet Friendly wine selection too. Co-owner Gareth Harries said: “We started Beer No Evil to share the beers we love and create a community in our hometown. So to be recognised nationally alongside some of the best in the country is amazing. It’s a real testament to our customers who’ve supported us since day one too – we couldn’t have done it without them.” Co-owner Gemma Clegg added: “Craft beer is all about discovery and connection – introducing people to new flavours, new breweries, and new stories. To have that celebrated in The Times and The Sunday Times is incredible, and we’re so proud to represent Worthing on the national stage.” The accolade is another milestone for Beer No Evil, which has grown from a small independent bottle shop, to winning a Society of Independent Brewers (SIBA) award for Best UK Independent Craft Beer Retailer in 2020, into a well-respected voice in the local and national craft beer scene.
