Celebration ale with orange peel brewed to mark landmark

Chiswick brewer Fuller, Smith & Turner have brought out a new, limited edition brew to commemorate its 170th year in brewing.

Fuller’s 170th Anniversary Celebration Ale is a seven per cent bottle-conditioned beer. Orange peel is added towards the end of the brewing process, to complement the citrus notes from Fuller’s trademark yeast.

Brewing Team Leader Henry Kirk adds Goldings hops and Orange Peel to the copper to make 170th Anniversary Celebration Ale

The beer comes packaged in a commemorative box, adorned with the gates of the famous Griffin Brewery and contains Caragold and pale ale malts, wheat, golden oats and Goldings and Liberty hops. It is available in the Brewery Store, via the Fuller’s website and in Sweden.

Head Brewer John Keeling said,“170 years is a milestone for any business – and as a brewery, the only way to celebrate is with a new beer. There is not much in life that is better than a beautifully crafted bottle-conditioned beer enjoyed with a good cheese board and great company. 170th Anniversary Celebration Ale is a must add for any beer connoisseur’s collection.”
