Modeled after an English style known as an Extra Special Bitter (E.S.B.) this beer was brewed to commemorate the anniversary of the South Shore Brewery. The brewery fired up its kettles on May 17, 1995. What is "special " about this beer is that it highlights the highly regarded East Kent Goldings hop. England's' "noble" hop. It enhances the sweetness of the generous portions of various caramel malts in the grist, while giving it a slightly dry finish, "bitter" by English standards. So here's to all the people who make this such a special place.
Food Pairing: • Roasted Chicken, Fish and Chips
