Fuller's ESB was first brewed in 1971 as a replacement for a beer called Old Burton Extra. At this time, breweries commonly produced both an "ordinary" bitter and a "special". Fuller's already had a "special", London Pride, and chose to add a third, extra special bitter, ESB.
CharacteristicsEdit
ESB is a strong, full-bodied, mahogany-coloured ale. It is brewed with Pale Ale and Crystal malts, bringing both biscuit flavours and soft malt toffee notes to the fore. It is sold in both 5.5% cask conditioned form as well as pasteurised at 5.9% in bottles and kegs.[1]
AwardsEdit
Fuller's ESB was named CAMRA's Champion Beer of Britain in 1978, 1981 and 1985. It has also been named CAMRA’s Strong Ale of the Year seven times – more than any other beer. ESB has also won the World Champion Beer award on two occasions, giving the brew the nickname "The Champion Ale".[2]
At the World Beer Awards 2011, ESB was awarded "Europe's Best Pale Ale - Strong".[3]
