This week, things should be relatively easy for the North American crowd, and hopefully not too tough for everyone else either. The beers are:

Redhook ESB [alternatives: Fuller's ESB, Victory ESB, Bridgeport ESB, or any other "ESB"]

and

Red Tail Ale from the Mendocino Brewing Co. [alternatives: Full Sail Amber, Bell's Amber, Fat Tire, or anything called "amber"]

Both beers are generally “ambers,” but the Redhook alternate should be a little less full-bodied than the Red Tail.
