Fuller’s Brewery, located along the River Thames in London, officially began its journey in 1845 when the founding documents of the new brewery company were signed. A few years earlier, John Bird Fuller had inherited the brewery from his father, and he decided to join forces with another brewery entrepreneur, Henry Smith, and Smith’s brother-in-law, brewmaster John Turner. Thus, Fuller, Smith & Turner brewery company was born, but the brewery itself was named after Fuller alone. Fuller’s is renowned for many award-winning beers such as London Pride and Fuller’s ESB.
