Beer Again Brewing's "EX ESB" Served at Fujisawa Beer Shokudo Beer Maison
In a post published at 17:16 on March 22, 2026, Fujisawa Beer Shokudo Beer Maison introduced Beer Again Brewing's 3rd anniversary beer, "EX ESB." With aromas reminiscent of biscuits and toast and a deliberately restrained aroma design, it is presented as a beer to enjoy slowly alongside a meal.
Hop BroSomething interesting has turned up as a guest beer at Beer Maison in Fujisawa. It's Beer Again Brewing's 3rd anniversary beer, EX ESB.
MugiWhat! EX ESB? That sounds kind of intense, but it's not a robot beer, right?
Hop BroNo robot here. ESB stands for Extra Special Bitter, and this one is all about malt richness with a biscuit aroma. Instead of hitting you with flashy hops, it's the kind of beer that tastes good in a slow-burn way.
MugiOhhh! But when you say malt richness, it suddenly sounds so technical that my brain starts darting around!
Hop BroSimply put, it's the toasty aroma that comes from the malt. The description also mentions toast and caramel-like sweetness, and says it's made to be light and easy to keep drinking.
MugiWow, that sounds like it would go well with food! And if the aroma is restrained, isn't that basically the beer world's master of reading the room?
Hop BroExactly. Since it doesn't push the aroma too hard, it doesn't get in the way of the food. That's why it fits a place like Beer Maison, where you can take your time and enjoy it with a meal.
MugiI'm curious about the specs too! ABV 5.0% means it should still have some real body, right?
Hop BroIt does. And with an IBU of 20.9, it's not too bitter, so the balance is nice. You can start with a Small, then move to a Pint and take your time if you like it.
MugiNice, that's the kind that makes you choose between Small and Pint! And if it's available at Beer Maison in the Fujisawa Station area, it makes me want to stop by after work.
Hop BroAnd it's on the 2F of the Marumi Building in Kugenuma-Ishigami, Fujisawa City. Ending the night with a quietly delicious beer instead of something flashy feels pretty spot-on, doesn't it?
MugiYeah, this is definitely a candidate for tonight's drink! Let's go grab a beer and snack on that malty aroma ourselves!

This EX ESB is Beer Again Brewing's 3rd anniversary beer. The description says it has the pleasant biscuity, toasty, and caramel-like sweetness that you expect from an ESB, with a light, easy-drinking finish. The aroma is also intentionally kept modest. Because it does not assert itself too strongly, the key point is that it pairs easily with food.
