On 1 December 2019, this was Origination ESB, on draught in the taproom at Lost Druid Brewery for Small Brewery Sunday, in the (small) city of Avondale Estates, Georgia, USA.
If this image looks familiar, it's because I originally posted it to YFGF's Facebook page that same day. It deserves an overdue elevation to Pic(k) of the Week status.
Considering the craft beer world's current state of affairs (let alone, the world), remembering Small Brewery Sunday on any day might not be a bad thing. In better times,
The 'craft' beer industry:Every dollar a beer lover spent at a craft brewery fueled a small business that supports the economic health of its local community.
- Contributed $79.1 billion to the U.S. economy.
- Provided 559,545 total jobs.
- Gave an estimated $92.6 million to charitable organizations.
And Origination, itself?
An autumnal interplay of malts and hops provides for exquisite balance in this English extra special bitter [ESB]. Light earthy, herbal hop character intermingles with bready, toffee-like malt notes to produce a highly sessionable ale for the fall season. 5.7 % abv [alcohol-by-volume].
Extra specially tasty, it was.
