Serving Suggestions
Serve this ESB at around 48–50 °F, in a pint glass to allow the malt character and hop finish to shine. It pairs exceptionally well with classic pub fare — think fish and chips, bangers & mash, sharp cheddar, or roasted chicken. It also stands beautifully on its own: sip it while catching up with friends or unwinding after a long day, whenever you want something malt-rich yet effortlessly drinkable.
