Ag#59 eb1937

[ArmChair]

Mr granddad sadly passed away on the 13th of Feb, and I decided to brew this ESB in memory of him.
His initials where EB and he was born in 1937, so the ESB is fitting.

Sorry to hear of your loss. It is difficult to know quite what to say sometimes as an outsider.

It does, it must be said, look like a staunch effort as a rememberance. I'm sure he would be touched by the gesture.

Top effort, ArmChair. Lost both my grandparents recently and I know how it hurts. I second Slid's comment and think he'd be very proud!
