Love Shack Brewing Extra Special Bitter

If you want to experience Love Shack Brewing’s Extra Special Bitter in all its glory, then you best get yourself to their Castlemaine home and enjoy it from the handpump. But, even when that’s not an option, there’s still so much to enjoy in this traditional British style ale.

Pouring somewhere between red and brown, ESB is a wonderful expression of classic English hops thanks to the way bitterness, earthy and spice all blend together as one. Alongside them, there’s a rich nutty hum that meets raisins, caramel and toffee to create the drinking equivalent of slipping into a well-worn armchair at the end of a long day.
