Anchor Steam
The Beer That Started It All
A true San Francisco icon, Steam Beer® is America’s original craft beer, named for the 19th century practice of fermenting beer outdoors due to the lack of refrigeration. As legend has it, the chilly San Francisco night air naturally cooled the fermenting beer, creating the visual of steam rising from the brewery rooftop. CRISPNESS OF A LAGER. COMPLEXITY OF AN ALE.
