TAP 1: German Pilsner (lager)

History: A copy of Bohemian Pilsener adapted to brewing conditions in Germany.
Overall Impression: Crisp, clean, refreshing beer that prominently features noble German hop bitterness accentuated by sulfates in the water.
ABV: 5.3%

TAP 2: California Steam Beer (hybrid: lagered at ale temps)
History: American West Coast original. Large shallow open fermenters (coolships) were traditionally used to compensate for the absence of refrigeration and to take advantage of the cool ambient temperatures in the San Francisco Bay area. Fermented with a lager yeast, but one that was selected to thrive at the cool end of normal ale fermentation temperatures.
Overall Impression: A lightly fruity beer with firm, grainy maltiness, interesting toasty and caramel flavors, and showcasing the Northern Brewer varietal hop character.
ABV: 5.6%

TAP 3: ESB (English Extra Special Bitter)
History: In England today, “ESB” is a brand unique to Fullers; in America, the name has been co-opted to describe a malty, bitter, reddish, standard-strength English-type ale.
Overall Impression: An average-strength to moderately-strong English ale. The balance may be fairly even between malt and hops to somewhat bitter. Drinkability is a critical component of the style.
ABV: 5.7%
