Ownership: Asahi Group Holdings (Japan) — founded 1845, Chiswick, London
Known for: England's most celebrated cask and bottled ale. A beautifully balanced best bitter with rich malt character, fruity hop aroma and a long, satisfying finish. Sold in pubs and supermarkets across the UK and exported throughout Europe.
History: Fuller, Smith & Turner has brewed on the banks of the Thames at Chiswick since 1845, making it one of England's oldest surviving breweries. London Pride — launched in the 1950s — became the flagship of a resurgent British ale scene, winning countless awards at CAMRA's Great British Beer Festival. Recognised as the benchmark of British bitter, it remains the top-selling cask ale in London pubs.
