George Gale & Co. Ltd was a Hampshire brewery with a distinctive range of, mainly, bitter beers.
It took its water from its own well situated under the brewery which is fed from the South Downs, and the yeast and 'liquor' (local water used for brewing), coupled with the local brewing style, produced beers with a sparse head, quite dark in colour.
[1] It raised fears as to the future of Gales Horndean brewery and some of its beers, and the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) launched a campaign to encourage Fuller's to continue production of the full Gales line at Horndean.
The main tower remains standing and was converted alongside the construction of new buildings into apartments.
In September 2022, Asahi Breweries announced a new batch of Prize Old Ale that was bottled and put on sale in October 2022 by Fuller's.
