I wrote yesterday about some of my favourite pubs in London and said that I would write today about some of the actual beers I have enjoyed in those pubs. However, having done some extensive research today into the history of London beers, I found it all a bit complicated and overwhelming. The city has been a hub for beer brewing for over 350 years and many companies have come and gone during this time. Giants such as Fuller’s, Truman’s, Courage, and Charrington’s have merged with other breweries and/or have been taken over by much larger corporations. The old Truman brewery in Brick Lane is now a business and leisure complex. Young’s brewery was founded in 1831 in Wandsworth but its beer is now brewed in Bedford in partnership with Charles Wells’.
