Harveys
first
brewed
and
bottled
Bonfire

as a
tribute
to
the
emergency

following
the
fire
in
July
1996
which
destroyed

and
offices.
Bonfire
Boy
on
draught
is
now
established

our

As
well
as
providing
a
continuing
tribute
to
the
emergency
services
the
name
of
the
brew
and
timing
of
its
availability
provide
a
close
link
with
the
extensive
bonfire
celebrations
which
take
place
in
Sussex
in
the
Autumn.
A
