Outliers is a new series of beers celebrating dissenters, originals and those determined to chart their own courses within the world of beer. The first release was produced in collaboration with Alyston Upshaw III, a brewer producing nuanced, British-inspired ales in Philadelphia under the name Concrete Blues. A modernised, bumped-up version of Al’s legendary 3.5% “pub ale”, Alyston’s Ordinary, this ESB was brewed with Maris Otter along with Chinook and English-grown Ernest hops for meandering, ethereal notes of apricot, orange, pine and heather honey. Best served at cellar temperature.
