In this day and age of being way too fancy and never stopping, it’s nice to sit back and reminisce about the classics. Remember the time when you didn’t worry about squeezing into skinny jeans, Insta or FB every beverage you’ve tried or listening to music that made your ears hurt? Us neither.
Time to look past the latest fads and just enjoy some uncomplicated flavours.
That’s where the Remember Me? ESB fits in. It’s not the glamour of the party, it’s just a good friend.
Cheers! #brewhappy #drinkhappier #enjoyresponsibly
