Fuller’s, London’s only remaining family brewer, were delighted to hear how they have lent a helping hand to world-renowned, and Nobel Prize-winning, scientist Professor Peter Higgs.
Professor Higgs, who first proposed the existence of the Higgs-Boson or ‘God Particle’ in 1964, was in a press conference this morning, when a colleague announced that the award-winning physicist likes to celebrate with his favourite beer – London Pride – and was then presented with a bottle, which he held aloft to the crowd of photographers (above).
As you see from the BBC News Caption in the image, perhaps the Professor was suggesting London Pride is in fact the building block for all other life forms?
It was also revealed that the Professor had, upon making his discovery last year, celebrated not with champagne but with a London Pride during a flight back from the CERN facility in Switzerland.
A Fuller’s spokesperson said:
“All at Fuller’s would like to congratulate Professor Higgs on his well-deserved Nobel prize. We are delighted to hear that, as should be the case with all of life’s great celebrations, Professor Higgs marked this fantastic accomplishment with London Pride.
“We would like to invite Professor Higgs and his family down to Fuller’s Griffin Brewery at Chiswick for a proper celebration.
“Now that we are aware of Professor Higgs favourite beer, perhaps we should consider a limited edition in his honour?”
