Bonfire Boy 500ml

Harvey's Brewery

£50

Described as "Bonfire night in a bottle" Bonfire Boy is a dark amber brew. Full and malty with a somewhat charred, bitter aftertaste. Discover a superbly smoky flavour with a balanced bitter finish. Highly roasted Malts are used during the production of this beer to give a slightly burnt quality and a hint of smoke. Brewed in tribute to the fire services who extinguished our brewery fire in 1996, we now brew this for the bonfire boys and belles of Lewes's November 5th celebrations each year!

Where this comes from

The part other shops don't tell you. Three separate questions, kept separate on purpose, each with its source.

UK company
Registered at Companies House as HARVEY & SON (LEWES) LIMITED, number 00235093. Checked 2026-08-29.
Means the business is a British legal entity, not a British-sounding name owned elsewhere. It says nothing about where anything is made.
UK operations
Stated by the company: "With his sons, John Harvey acquired the current Bridge Wharf Site in 1838 for the price of GBP 3,100." Source.
Means people employed here, or premises they actually work from. We keep this separate from the company badge because a registered office can be an accountant's spare room, and a company can be registered in Britain while everything it does happens somewhere else. Where we have not looked, we say so rather than assuming.
British-owned
Not established. Many companies file a statement rather than naming a controlling shareholder.
Read from the register of people with significant control, following the chain of holding companies. It does not gate anything: a firm can be made here and owned elsewhere, and that is worth telling you rather than hiding.
Where it is made
The maker doesn't say, so neither do we.
This is about the individual product, not the company. A British firm can sell things made abroad, which is normal and not a criticism. We would rather tell you which is which than average them into a score.
