Fuller’s 2025 Porter 180th Anniversary Porter Limited Edition Special Beer Bottle 50 cl 7%

180 years have passed since Fuller, Smith & Turner first tapped beer at the Griffin Brewery on the banks of the Thames in Chiswick. To mark the anniversary, the brewery dug into its history books and recreated a classic porter that tastes like the very foundation of English brewing craft.

Expert description of Fuller's 180th Anniversary Porter 2025

This porter is brewed as a direct tribute to Fuller's 180th anniversary and is part of a limited collector's set alongside a Vintage Ale and an Imperial Stout marking the same milestone. It is brewed at the Griffin Brewery in Chiswick, where a brewhouse has stood since the 1600s, combining classic English porter style with modern brewing finesse.

Malt is the driving force here: deeply roasted grains deliver cocoa, caramel and dark fruit, while a restrained hop bitterness keeps everything tight and stops it turning cloying. The result is a full-bodied, balanced porter that can be enjoyed now or set aside to mature.
