Fuller, Smith and Turner PLC is the full name of the brewery company better known simply as '''Fuller's'''. They brew a range of Cask Ale s at the Griffin Brewery in Chiswick , West London . As well as the range of beers, Fuller's brewery is famous for having the oldest Wisteria plant in the UK, planted in the early 19th century.

As of 8th November 2005 it was announced that Fuller's were offering, and were certain of success in that offer, to buy Gales Brewery , a Hampshire brewer. This will increase the number of tied houses owned by Fuller's by 111. However it has caused some concern, particularly from CAMRA, that it will spell the end of many of Gale's beers and brewing at the Gale's Horndean brewery. The deal itself was worth £91.8 million.

The company has a number of regular brands:

  • Fuller's ''ESB'' (Extra Special Bitter) is a strong bitter. ESB has won CAMRA 's Best Strong Ale award on seven separate occasions, more times than any other beer. The beer was rebranded from its old black and red livery, to the current blue and gold (at least in the UK - the label has apparently not changed in bottles of ESB sold in North America) in late 2004 in an attempt to shake off its reputation as a very strong beer.

  • Fuller's ''London Pride'', the company’s flagship brand, is a Mahogany coloured best Bitter . The beer is best known in England in its 4.1% Cask Conditioned form, but is also sold worldwide in 4.7% pasteurised bottles.

  • Fuller's ''Golden Pride'' is a Barley Wine . At 8.3%, it is the strongest beer in the Fuller's range, and one of the strongest beers widely available in the UK . It is sold in pasteurised 50cl bottles in most Fuller's Tied House s, and some UK Supermarket s.

  • Fuller's ''Organic Honey Dew'' is a Golden Ale brewed with entirely Organic ingredients. As well as malt and hops, it is also brewed with honey, giving it a slightly sweet taste. It is widely available in the UK in pasteurised 50 cl bottles, and is available in keg form all year round in many Fuller's Tied House s.

  • Fuller's ''1845'' is a strong Bottle-conditioned Beer . It was first brewed in 1995 to celebrate Fuller's 150th anniversary. 1845 is also available in Fuller's Tied House s as a seasonal Cask ale.

  • Fuller's ''Chiswick Bitter'' is a 3.5% Cask Conditioned ordinary or session Bitter and sold in most Fuller's Tied House s.

  • Fuller's ''London Porter''. London Porter is available in pasteurised 50 cl bottles and in Fuller's Tied House s as a seasonal Cask ale.

  • Fuller's ''IPA'' is an India Pale Ale available in Fuller's Tied House s as a seasonal Cask ale.

  • Fuller's ''Vintage Ale'' is a vintage Bottle Conditioned ale. Each year’s brew is roughly based on Golden Pride, but with minor changes in the recipe. It is generally released around Christmas , and has been made since 1997.

  • Fuller's ''Hock'' is a dark mild available in Fuller's Tied House s as a seasonal Cask ale.
