Gales Taken Over

News just in: Gales have been taken over by Fullers for some vast sum of money (around about £90m, we hear).

That’s all we have so far — we’ve beaten the BBC to the story :) There’s no news on whether the pubs will be rebranded or the brewery closed, though with any luck it might get a bit easier to get hold of some Chiswick around here…

More info as we get it.

(Update: more details in the article in the Publican. Looks like a “complete review” is planned, so it could go either way. Might not be a bad idea to stock up on bottles of Prize Old, though…)
