[edit] Founding date clarification

"Fuller's 1845 is a strong Bottle-conditioned beer. It was first brewed in 1995 to celebrate Fuller's 150th anniversary," the article says, but the side panel indicates that it was opened in 1711. What happened in 1711? What happened in 1845? I think the article needs some clarification in this regard. Fullers company promotional materials (beermats/coasters) indicate that it was founded in 1845. Morland Brewery, Oxfordshire, was reportedly formed in 1711. Is it possible we have some sort of crossed info here? Oswald Glinkmeyer 22:07, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering if it was a reference to when the Brewery itself opened (it predates Fuller Smith and Turner) but according to British-history.ac.uk it is older than that. Bods 08:23, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

• This is from Fullers' website:

Although brewing dates back to 1654 at Griffin Brewery on the banks of the River Thames, the partnership of Fuller, Smith And Turner was formed in 1845. Jess Cully 01:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
