This is a recipe I loosely based from the popular Common Room ESB recipe that's floating around. I had an excess (still do) of fuggles and bramling cross so that's what I used. I've been drinking it now for about 2 months and damn it's good! So I wanted to share. Enjoy!

Re: Uncommon ESB
I've got an ESB on tap now with all Bramling Cross and I'm loving it. Very distinctive hop for sure.
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.
