Anchor Steam Beer
The historic California original that defined American craft beer
Anchor Steam Beer derives its unique name and character from the historic practice of brewing on the foggy West Coast rooftops without ice. It features a brilliant copper color, a thick creamy head, and a rich, distinctive flavor that blends pale and caramel malts with northern brewer hops.

The story behind it
Originally established in 1896, Anchor Brewing Company is America's first craft brewery. Fritz Maytag rescued the struggling historic brewery in 1965, sparking the modern craft beer revolution in San Francisco.
Anchor Steam Beer is brewed at the historic San Francisco brewery using a unique hybrid process. It employs lager yeast fermented at warmer ale temperatures, yielding a truly singular style known as California Common.
