Asahi have bought Fuller's, it's a feckin outrage.

Definitely, over 200 years of tradition sold out to yet another large conglomerate for the sake of profit.
I hope they don't close the Griffin Brewery and brew elsewhere.

I hope they don't close the Griffin Brewery

Chief exec of Fuller's said "This deal secures the future of both parts of our business including protecting the heritage of the Griffin Brewery in Chiswick, which was particularly important to the Fuller’s Board."
We shall see.
As Fullers the Publican/Hotelier will be buying beer (at preferential rates) from Fullers the Brewer, it is unlikely, certainly in the short term. Altho I am not familiar with Asahi's UK operations.

Sounds similar to Kraft taking over Cadbury. We won't close this that and the other or change the ingredients...

Business, innit?

If your name was 3beersfuller, not 3BM, and a jap chap came along and offered you 250 million squids, would you say no?

Indeed, I'd have held out for £300m.

Fuller's have some great beers, 1845 is a fave. Gales HSB is a fine bitter too. Hope it doesn't get freaked up. Shows what happens if you put a non family person in charge of a family business.

The chair is a Turner and there are two Fullers on the Board. Three family members is quite a lot.

Anyone else had issues with canned beer?

I blame the Crax pour on the journey home from the pub...

And the discerning newspaper reader's Saturday morning read of choice is reporting today that the family still own 50% of the shares and control 75% of the voting rights. A 20% jump in share price on the news suggests that Asahi is paying a very generous price, which might well have swayed them.
