Tonight a bottle of Top Out smoked porter. You can really taste the smoke but, like a good malt, it doesn't over power everything else.

They brew a good pint. They are a decent regional brewer. Why try to reposition as hipsters?
The equivalent of putting up horse brasses at one time, perhaps, to keep market position?

People who know Fullers won't be put off, and it may attract new drinkers. As others have pointed out, they brew a solid product, and I've had no complaints about the three beers of theirs I've tried (London Pride[1], Black Cab, Bengal Lancer). I wish we got a bit more of their range up here.

[1] Pride being a favourite of no.1 son in particular.

No complaints about their 'standard' brews and if in Lahndahn I'll go out of my way to visit a Fullers pub, but some of the specials have been meh!

They brew Gales and I've always had a weakness for HSB.

ESB is a lovely drop too.

ESB used to be my fave but I the last couple of times I've had it I didn't rally care for it, almost like they'd changed the recipe or something.
