Visit to Fullers brewery

[50quidsoundboy]

Soz for the duff gen,Chinese whispers in my head. I was in Doric Arch at Euston today hoping for some Bengal Lancer,but had to settle for some Discovery. Is Bengla Lancer a 'permanent' beer or seasonal? They had Red Fox on instead.

Bengal Lancer (one of my favourite beers too) is part of the standard line-up. it's always on tap (along with absolutely every other Fullers beer) at the excellent Parcel Yard pub inside King's Cross. you can also get bottles of it from Sainsburies and Waitrose and my local corner shop!

alternatively, if you're stuck at Euston, you've got the Euston Tap which has a phenomenal line-up. Thornbridge, Kernel, Stone, Cantillon, Westmalle, whatever you could possibly want...

I heard somewhere that bengal lancer is a different recipe to the fullers IPA. I've never done a side by side taste comparison though.

If you want to harvest yeast either Bengal Lancer or 1845 will do the job nicely. Its my go to UK yeast but I only use it for 3-4 generations as I find it tends to mutate after that.

Brewery visit sounds great.

There was a Fullers IPA brewed on and off, now there is a different recipe for Bengal Lancer and that is rebranded as IPA for some markets. I think

I cannot find the link atm but the head brewer confirms that Bengal Lancer and IPA are the same beer in a video
