Derek Prentice has seen the fall and rise of London Brewing since he began at Truman’s back in the late 1960s. He’s witnessed the end of Truman’s, the departure of Young’s and the continuing success at Fuller’s - and now he’s down at Wimbledon, where £500,000 has been invested. The beers are, as you’d expect, classically-inclined and extremely drinkable. Session ales don’t come much better, actually, than his Common Pale Ale, an orange-and-plum, English hops and Maris Otter delight.
