The Beer Can section is a virtual homage to the American beer-can collecting craze of the 1970s. The rise of thousands of microbreweries have made 'dump scouring' or digging for old beer cans in the woods and abandoned campgrounds a thing of the past. The thousands of young men who could pick up a can in any vacant lot when the hobby was at its zenith in the 1970s have grown up - but fortunately may now find hundreds of colorful cans (full of good brew) within mere miles of their homes.

Brewer's Exegesis
Our ESB contains all the elements of a traditional ESB but is slightly hoppier than the style guidelines. We are using Maris Otter and crystal malts for the grain bill. The main hop for the ESB is East Kent Golding.
