Harveys brew - Emphasis
Harveys brew   Harveys brew  A Sussex-based brewery has upset fans of punctuation with its inconsistent use of apostrophes.  Apostrophe Protection Society member Jonathan Cook has taken to Facebook to campaign for Harveys  Brewery to sort out its style. While the brewery usually omits the  apostrophe from its brand name, Cook was apparently incensed after  seeing the apostrophe suddenly included on beer pumps for Harveys Best  Bitter at a Hove pub. (One can only imagine the internal turmoil he  suffered, torn between a desire for consistency and for accuracy.)  According to the marketing boss at Harveys, Bill Inman, the name  should be naked of punctuation, and the brewery takes no responsibility  for errant apostrophes or vigilante pump-makers. There is no apostrophe  in Harveys, he told The Argus. If one appears on a pump somewhere it is without official sanction and I want to see the evidence.  In fact, the inconsistency is in evidence on Harveys own site,  where the name on the Christmas ale label includes an  apostrophe. Mind you, that might be a simple error that has something to  do with the beer having an alcohol content of 8.1 per cent.
