Charlie Brown's ESB
Charlie Brown was the well known landlord of a pub called the
Railway Tavern in the East End of London during the early 1900's.
He was famous for amassing an unusual collection of objects brought
to the pub by sailors whose ships would be unloading in the nearby docks.
Sadly, the pub was demolished in 1993.
Anyway, enough of the history lesson, here's the beer:
