Upcoming Special Release: The Brew Bros ESB

The Brew Bros recently teamed up with Sleepy Dog Brew­ing for an out­stand­able brew ses­sion and we are all very proud to announce the upcom­ing unveil­ing of the Brew Bros ESB! The Extra Spe­cial Bit­ter beer will be pre­mier­ing at Sleepy Dog Saloon and Brew­ery some­time around the 5^th-7^th of July…  we’ll keep you updated so that you can come join us as an incred­i­ble 50% of the pro­ceeds from this spe­cific beer sold at the brew­ery will go towards the Beer for Brains Foundation!!!

This beer recipe was for­mu­lated by some of the Brew Bros with Sleepy Dog’s brew­ing his­tory in mind. Ini­tially the plan was to cre­ate a half-barrel batch but Matt Weber and Rob Size­more were pleased enough with our recipe that they both gave the go-ahead for us all to use their larger sys­tem.
This ESB is on the high side of the IBU scale for its style (which still isn’t much for extreme hop lovers) and some honey malts were specif­i­cally cho­sen to give us the desired mouth­feel. All in all, we feel like the recipe will pro­vide for a beer that’ll pair up well with these sum­mer months as the ABV is low enough to enable the sort of ses­sion drink­ing that keeps us out of the heat. The Sleepy Dog brew­ers did one hell of a job teach­ing us home­brew­ers how the pros get it done on such a larger scale. We enjoyed our­selves immensely and tried our best to just shut up, lis­ten and learn.
The brew day was well planned and I feel like our col­lab­o­ra­tive excite­ment com­bined with the exper­tise of the Sleepy Dog brew­ers made a pos­i­tive dif­fer­ence in the brew­ing process. With­out get­ting too geeky about the details, I am con­fi­dent that many of our ‘game day’ deci­sions have ensured that the result­ing beer will be one that can be enjoyed by any­one who tries it.

Speak­ing of try­ing this beer, if there are any bar man­agers in Ari­zona who catch a glimpse of this arti­cle near its release date, con­sider that there should still be some kegs left to spread around. Feel free to com­ment on this post and/or con­tact myself or Patrick to get the Brew Bros ESB in your establishment.

I want to take this oppor­tu­nity to pub­licly thank Rob and Matt for their instruc­tion, their love of high qual­ity beer and espe­cially for their con­tri­bu­tion to an amaz­ing foun­da­tion. I also want to encour­age every­one who reads this to spread the word about this beer release… we invite you to come enjoy the beer and the guys who work hard to make it!

Prost! And Sem­per Fi.

Be Socia­ble, Share!

Jonathan Jame­son writes for the same rea­son that he brews – to share free­dom. A San Die­gan born, for­mer Marine who has moved more times than a trav­el­ing cir­cus, Jonathan’s appre­ci­a­tion for craft beer began in 2004 while rid­ing the Pacific Sur­fliner train up the South­ern Cal­i­forn­ian coast. Stone’s Arro­gant Bas­tard Strong Ale quickly became his bev­er­age of choice on the café car and opened his mind to the empow­er­ment that vari­ety pro­vides. Since then, to put the big pic­ture in small words, Jonathan has con­tin­ued to find new ways to share his pas­sion for beer and his love affair with expression.
