Ravens Brewing Fresh Hopped ESB: Newly opened in 2015, Ravens Brewing in Abbotsford, BC brewed this beer to a strength of 5.75% abv with 50 IBUs of hops from the Valley Hops farm in Abbotsford. It’s great to see a beer like this come from a brand new brewery as it’s not something you see…
Granville Island Brewery Mad Dash Fresh Hop ESB: Obtained from the brewery retail shop a few days ago, this fresh hop ESB was brewed onsite at a strength of 5.6% abv with 45 IBUs of fresh centennial hops from the Sartori Cedar Hop Farm in Chilliwack, harvested fresh and quickly transported into boiling wort on Vancouver’s…
Sierra Nevada/New Glarus – Beer Camp Across America There and Back ESB: A collaboration with New Glarus Brewing this English Style Bitter was brewed at a strength of 5.6% abv and 40 IBUs. Apparently this breweries beer is next to impossible to get outside of Wisconsin, so unless I trade it seems that Beer Camp is the only exposure to this…
Driftwood Brewery Naughty Hildegard “ESB”: Is a craft beer brewed in Victoria, BC at a strength of 6.5% with a whopping 73 IBUs hence why I put the ESB in quotations, basically if you are a style nut it’s pretty obvious this by no means a traditional ESB so don’t expect it to taste like a traditional Extra Special Bitter…
Dead Frog Brewery Rocket Man Interstellar ESB: After my last personal Dead Frog disaster, I decided to give them another chance right away with this 22 oz bottle release that was recommended. They are getting a bit funny with their names, but at the same time it beats just plastering the words “India Style” on there…
Propeller Brewing – ESB: Is brewed in Halifax, Nova Scotia at a strength of 5% with 30 IBUs and was enjoyed at home in a 16 oz pub glass. Aroma and Appearance: It pours a dark brown with some bubble action in the middle of the glass and 1 finger of foam. The aroma has some plum, toffee and…
Bomber Brewing – ESB: Is a craft beer brewed in Vancouver, Canada (it’s a Canadian thing) brewed at a strength of 5.2% and was poured from a can into a beer glass at home. I had bought a mixer 12 pack of these for Canada Day and reserved one of each for review at a later time. Aroma and Appearance: It pours…
Brewed in craft central Vancouver, BC comes Parallel 49’s Nitrogen Series ESB (5.0% alc, vertically poured at home from a nitrogenated bottle). Aroma and Appearance: Pours a dark amber like colour with a decent, but not amazing nitro head of foam with the typical cascade effect and has an aroma of floral hops and malt. Flavour: Mild floral hops flavour and…
It’s nice to had a place you can drop in, sample some beer and still be home on time for dinner – travel via transit of course, would not recommend driving immediately after even a pint of craft beer. Rogue Wetbar offers these sampler trays for a $7.99 which I think is a reasonable price for…
