London Pride

Dave and I went to Chiswick yesterday to take a Fuller's Brewery Tour.

There has been a brewery on this site for almost 400 years. Fuller's has been there since 1845, and it is London's last remaining traditional family brewer.

We saw the various large vats where mixing, fermenting, and maturing all take place.

The final step - where the casks are filled with beer - is not as informative as the others, but it is the most fun to watch. While we were there they were racking their flagship London Pride, but during any given season they are producing about a dozen different kinds of beer.

They've got a great slogan: Whatever you do, take Pride.
