★ Award winningKnown for a full range of styles

The Griffin Brewery stands near the Thames at Chiswick in west London, on a site where beer has been brewed since the seventeenth century. The Griffin name and emblem date from 1816, and the partnership of Fuller, Smith & Turner was formed there in 1845. In 2019 the brewing business was sold to Asahi, while the Fuller's pub company stayed independent and still pours the beers. Since Gale's closed its Horndean brewery in 2006, the Gale's ales have also been brewed in Chiswick, next to London Pride, ESB and a range of bottle-conditioned strong ales.

How we measure this

Two thresholds are at work here:

  • The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
  • The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.

A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
