Anchor Steam Beer

Anchor Steam Beer is a traditional American craft beer originating from San Francisco. It’s a cloudy, amber-colored brew with a unique lager-like crispness combined with ale characteristics, achieved through a special fermentation process called "steam" or "California common" brewing. This method uses ale yeast at cooler temperatures typically associated with lagers, resulting in a smooth, malty flavor with subtle hops and a clean finish. Known for its historical significance, it embodies a distinctive, balanced taste that appeals to a wide range of beer drinkers and remains a flagship example of early American brewing innovation.
