Fuller’s Brewery Tour: Taste London Pride in Chiswick

by The Foodie Travel Guide | Jan 18, 2019

Fuller’s Griffin Brewery, Chiswick, London

Visit the Griffin brewery in Chiswick and take the Fuller’s brewery tour. Have a unique behind-the-scenes look at London’s last remaining family brewery and taste its iconic beer London Pride.

One of the World’s Top 10 Brewery Tours

Walk into a London pub and one of the names you’ll see at the bar is London Pride, Fuller’s best selling beer.

Every single drop of the 30 different beers created by Britain’s largest family brewer, now exported to 72 countries, is produced at Fuller’s London riverside brewery in Chiswick.

An imposing red brick building, it still speaks of a time when beer was stored in wooden barrels and horses transported them to the local pub. On the tour, your guide will point out a place in the brewery yard where they used to weigh vehicles to make sure that no-one had siphoned off any of the beer on board.

Have a Pint at The Mawsons Arms

Fuller, Smith and Turner began brewing here in 1845. The brewery was actually founded in the late 17th century by a man named Thomas Mawson.

A testament to this is the oldest wisteria plant in the UK. It covers the front of the brewery building and is one of two specimens brought back in 1816 by plant hunters to China. It has since thrived and looks magnificent when it’s in full bloom in May.

If you arrive early for the brewery tour, you can have a quick pint in brewery tap, The Mawsons Arms pub, a Grade II listed property which is conveniently located next door.

Tour London’s Oldest Brewery

As soon as you step inside the brewery building a sweet, biscuity smell hits you. Surrounded by shiny copper heritage vessels, it’s as though time has stood still.

We saw the old copper mash tun last used in 1993 and the old copper, the brewery’s oldest vessel which was installed in 1823. Our guide explained that although most of these vessels aren’t used any more, the brewing process hasn’t really changed.

Brewing beer is essentially similar to baking a cake. All beers have the same basic ingredients of barley, hops, water and yeast but depending upon the variety of malts and hops, very different flavours can be created.
