Fuller’s - Vintage Ale 2016 - 8.5% - 50cl - Bte
Description
Every year since 1997, we’ve picked out the year's finest hops and malts to make a special Vintage Ale. In 2016, alongside classic British hops, we elected to use the aromatic Nelson Sauvin variety from New Zealand – and it instantly makes its presence felt alongside the warming alcohols and rich malt character long associated with the series. The result is a smooth, rich, and deliciously different Vintage Ale – a successful union of home-grown and far-flung ingredients.
London, Greater London - EnglandBeer has been made in South London for over 350 years, dating back to the time of Oliver Cromwell. At that time, it was quite common for large households to brew their own beer. In the late 1600s, one such private brewery stood in the gardens of Bedford House on Chiswick Mall. Another, much more humble, operated near Thomas Urlin's cottage. On Urlin's death, the property passed to his widow and son-in-law, a gentleman named Thomas Mawson, who stepped in to take over as manager. It was he who laid the foundations of a great brewing enterprise - buying the George Public House and two adjacent cottages for £70, then later purchasing the brewery at Bedford House. Thomas Mawson is still honored today through the Mawson Arms, the pub located on the brewery site.
