London
Pride 4.1% is available always
London
Pride is a smooth and astonishingly complex beer, which
has a distinctive malty base complemented by a rich
balance of well developed hop flavours from the target,
challenger and northdown varieties in the brew. At 4.1%
a.b.v in cask (4.7% a.b.v in bottles)London Pride is an
ideal session-strength premium ale.
Its flavour has been likened by Stephen Cox, beer writer
and former campaigns director at CAMRA, to 'the sensation
of angels dancing on the tongue...'!

Awards
 |
| Winner
of numerous awards London Pride is Fuller's flagship
brand. London Pride has twice been awarded Champion Best
Bitter at the CAMRA Great British Beer Festival in 1979
and 1995 and achieved the ultimate accolade of Beer of the
Year in 1979. London Pride was crowned Supreme Champion at
the 2000 International Beer and Cider competition and most
recently has been awarded gold medal at the 2001
International Beer and Cider competition. |

PIGSWILL
Brewed at OG 1040 and ABV 4.0%. A full
bodied beer, not so bitter, but rich in hop aroma which gives the
beer a delightful aftertaste. The warm amber colour is very
appealing to the eye.
|
ESB
5.5% is available occasionally
First brewed in
1971, ESB is unrivalled in terms of its flavour and balance. A
powerful 5.5% a.b.v. in cask (5.9% a.b.v. in bottles and kegs), it
is brewed from Pale Ale and Crystal malts, and from Target,
Challenger, Northdown and Goldings hops. But don't ask us for the
actual recipe - that's a closely guarded secret.
Andrew Jefford, the respected UK drinks critic, sums up ESB's
flavour thus: ''an ample, grainy-nutty aroma and a broad,
authoritative flavour, with lashings of dry marmalade-like
bitters'', whilst 'Beer Supremo' Roger Protz describes ''an enormous
attack of rich malt, tangy fruit and spicy hops in the mouth, with a
profound Goldings peppery note in the long finish and hints of
orange, lemon and gooseberry fruit''.
AWARDS
ESB's
reputation as the best British beer around is borne out by the
amazing number of awards it has won. No beer has won more CAMRA
awards - ESB has been named Best Strong Ale in 1978, 1979, 1981,
1983, 1985, 1987 and 1991, and went on to be crowned Champion Beer
of Britain in 1978, 1981 and 1985. Meanwhile, the US Beverage
Tasting Institute named ESB 'World Champion Bitter' in 1997 and
1998.
Most recently ESB won a Silver medal in the Premium Ale category at
the 2002 International Beer & Cider Awards, and picked up
another Silver in the Strong Bitter categoty at this year's Great
British Beer Festival.
