High Street
Taphouse Craft Beer + Kitchen

British Bitter, English Bitter, Extra Special Bitter, British Best Bitter.. anyway you call what some proclaim as the National Drink of England, the name is a bit of a misnomer.

While they are English, they are not bitter at all! There are not alot of defining characteristics to Bitters, but balance and drinkability is the key to a good ESB. Our version of this classic style is malt forward, has a beautiful copper hue, and at 4.8% ABV is absolutely sessionnable!

This beer is dedicated to the late John Cheesman (Mike's Poppa) who emigrated to Canada in 1957 from a suburb of London, England called 'Colliers Wood'. Colliers Wood took its name from a wood that stood to the east of Colliers Wood 'High Street'. High Street in England is similar to Main Street in Canada. Comically, the most famous landmark is the Colliers Wood Tower, which was voted the ugliest building in London by the BBC in 2006 (rude!). We decided to give it some love, and will be featuring this landmark on the side of High Street British Bitter cans :)
