Discovery was beer number one that started it all back in early 1997. A decade later, this uniquely Yukon beer was brought back to highlight our tenth birthday and folks liked it so much we decided to keep it around. Using fireweed honey (fireweed is the territorial flower and just about everywhere up here), this beer has a bronze pour and a bitter honey finish. Fireweed Honey is a different animal – it’s a bit sweet but also a bit tangy and bitter and its flavour shows in this one of a kind ale. We add the honey during the boil along with the hops, and it’s off to the races from there. Discovery, a Honey E.S.B. (Extra Special Bitter to you!) like you’ve never tried.

At first it reminded me of boont esb, and it really was quite drinkable, but its more like Anderson valley esb's bastard son. Tasty, but forgettable.
