I don't know about y'all, but any time I can order a fresh and bountiful ESB I'll go back around the buoy a couple times before my session's done. Alongside the crew at Buoy Brewing we crafted an ultra-traditional English Extra Special Bitter, a favorite style among brewers and beer nerds, as our North Bank Beer Week (and beyond) collaboration beer. With an incredible depth of flavour - emphasis on the u - Around the Buoy throws nutty, caramelly, and satiating malt character ahead of floral and lightly citrusy Willamette hops introduced via Fortside's unique post-boil hop back. Smooth, malty, satisfyingly hoppy, and hugely drinkable, Around the Buoy ESB will satisfy all flavoUr needs, both old school and new. Cheers and around the Buoy we go!

Had this beer at the brewery and it was on nitro and talk about a smooth ESB wow! Pours a golden/amber color with a small off-white velvety head. This is not what I expected when I ordered this beer. The nitro really sets it apart with a good smooth bitterness and malt taste. 38 IBUs Rated 12-9-2022
