I havent had Fuller's LP in a while but the first time I tried Fuller's Vintage Ale was mail ordered from Belmont Station years ago. It was awesome.

Never had their Vintage Ale, but London Pride is one of my favorites.  I can't quite nail it on my own system, but I've gotten close.

Best flight ever was one to Europe where they had it in cans.

Any idea how old the Vintage Ale was? I got a bottle of 2011 for my birthday and I'm wondering whether I should lay it down for a few years or drink it now.

Neither. Ship it to me and I'll make sure it's still good

I believe it was 1997. I remember it being very good fresh and I did age a few.  MiGht have had it once or twice since then.

You can go either way. It will be great now. I bought a 2004 vintage at the brewery shop and drank it last spring. It was still very, very good.

I had 2 pints at the Mawson Arms, which is attached to the brewery. I never wanted to leave. The brewery tour is highly recommended, but it is a bit outside of the city center.
