About this release

A unique collaboration with Philadelphia's Concrete Blues, this 5.8% US Extra Special Bitter is brewed with Maris Otter malt and a combination of Chinook and English Ernest hops. Rich flavours of apricot, orange, pine, grapefruit and subtle notes of heather honey make this a complex and surprisingly fresh ESB. This is a special creation by Beak, the respected English brewery from Lewes known for its soft, aromatic and hazy IPAs. Outliers #1: Concrete Blues demonstrates that Beak can also excel outside their usual style. The combination of American and English hop varieties creates an interesting tension between strength and refinement, while the Maris Otter malt provides a solid foundation for the complex flavour profile. This beer is a real surprise for lovers of classic bitter ales with a modern twist. The fresh finish and rich aroma make it suitable for various occasions, whether you enjoy it during an evening at home or pair it with food. With its 5.8% alcohol and characterful flavour profile, this 440ml bottle offers a satisfying and varied beer drinking experience.
