First off, the beer will not be ready in such a short time. If you are not keen on making like a simple, tasty Pale Ale/IPA, you could try getting your hands on some norwegian farmhouse ale yeast and in 9 days, you will have a finished beer.

If you still want to make something more traditional than that, I would go for all Maris Otter, a 30 and 15 minutes addition of Columbus for bittering, flameout / whirlpool / aroma with Simcoe, Amarillo, Cascade and Chinook.

Pitch US-05, possible make a starter and ferment cool.
