Hedrick & Hagan E.S.B.
5.4% Premium Bitter / Strong Bitter / ESB
The malty big brother of English style Pale Ale, English Special Bitter (and particularly H. & H. ESB) has pronounced malt and caramel flavors, and employs traditional English hops. Named after Third Street Aleworks founders Todd Hedrick and Chris Hagan- who are not (for the record) bitter or English. For those of you unfamiliar with traditional Engish Ales it should be noted that a Bitter of any variety (including ESB) is generally not particularly bitter- especially by West Coast standards. English beer nomenclature is notoriously relative and (in the case of all beers that fall into the "Bitter" category) counter-intuitive.
