Brewer's Share ESB Brewery Invites you to "Meet the Brewer and the Beer"
This year Full Sail celebrates 21 years of
doing what they love, brewing beer. "To kick off our 21st birthday
celebrations, we're proud to announce a new line up of small batch draft
beers called 'Brewer's Share'. As brewers we know the best way to
celebrate is to brew a special beer - but we came up with so many
creative ideas, so many brewers, so many beers, that we could not stop
at just one. Instead we are giving all of our brewers a chance to brew
their own beer with our Brewer's Share series," said Irene Firmat, Full
Sail's Founder and CEO. The first beer in the series is "Extra Special
Barney" (ESB) and was developed by Full Sail's lead brewer, Barney
Brennan. The brewery will launch this special beer during American Craft
Beer Week, (May 12-18) an event that is celebrated annually and
highlights the industry and culture of craft beer. More...
