British pale malts, a restrained addition of crystal malt, and generous East Kent Golding hopping create a beer the brewery describes as more malty than bitter. It is a satisfying choice for drinkers drawn to the balance and malt character of a traditional pub ale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAlcohol by Volume (ABV):\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.1%.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMalts:\u003c\/strong\u003e British pale malts with a small addition of crystal malt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHops:\u003c\/strong\u003e East Kent Golding.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRecipe Collaboration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Developed together by Daniel “Dan” Diebolt and Jack Diebolt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Brewed, fermented, and packaged onsite at Diebolt Brewing Company.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOwners:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dan and Jack Diebolt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Brewer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jack Diebolt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensory Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA malt-led profile gives this ESB its central appeal, with British pale malt providing a bready foundation and crystal malt adding a gentle caramel accent. East Kent Golding hops bring an earthy, lightly herbal counterpoint. Bitterness supports the malt rather than overwhelming it, creating a rounded balance of grain sweetness and hop definition that suits an unhurried pint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrewer’s Background:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiebolt Brewing Company opened in Denver’s Sunnyside neighborhood in 2013, bringing together Dan Diebolt’s homebrewing experience and his son Jack’s interest in brewing and family heritage. French-inspired ales helped establish the brewery’s identity, followed by a broader range of British, American and continental styles. The family-owned operation brews, ferments and packages its beer onsite in a former 1950s meat-packaging building, using a 15-barrel brewhouse. Girlfriend is Bitter reflects that family connection directly through Dan and Jack’s shared recipe development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Suggestions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServe around 46–54°F in a nonic pint glass, allowing the malt character to emerge as the beer warms slightly. Pair with steak-and-ale pie, roast chicken, bangers and mash or a mushroom-and-onion tart. Its balance also suits a cheddar ploughman’s plate, while salted pretzels, roasted nuts and pork scratchings make straightforward snacks.
