- I 2nd the recommendation for Fullers ESB.
- Once a month or so, some friends and I go on a road trip from
- Vanvouver to Fairhaven [Bellingham] and drop in at Bullies where you
- can get Fullers for 6 US.95 a pitcher during Happy Hour. [2 - 6]
-
- Fullers is a very tasty, chewy beer.
-
- This is a big improvement in taste and price over the english ales
- available here in BC [5$ Can a mug]
