More About Me

Ahoy there! I am Anchor Steam, the proud flagship brew of Anchor Brewing Company and the beer that holds the esteemed title of the industry's first craft beer.

Allow me to take you on a journey through history, as I recount the tale of my creation. Born in the vibrant city of San Francisco, California, back in the mid-1800s, I have become a beloved icon of the craft beer world...

My story begins during the California Gold Rush, a time of great exploration and adventure. In those bustling streets, the industrious brewers faced a unique challenge: the absence of ice to ferment their lagers. Undeterred, they devised an ingenious solution. With a pioneering spirit, they created a new style of beer by fermenting at temperatures achievable with "steam" power, hence earning me the name Anchor Steam. 

Savor my golden amber hue, a delightful bouquet of toasted caramel and floral hops dances upon your senses. Experience the masterful blend of rich malt sweetness and a gentle bitterness, a balanced symphony that lingers on your palate. The interplay of subtle fruit notes and a touch of citrus zest adds a refreshing complexity, making me a versatile companion for any occasion. Whether you enjoy me alongside a hearty meal or relish my company on a lazy afternoon, I promise to delight your taste buds with every encounter.

In a world of ever-changing trends, I stand tall as a timeless testament to craftsmanship and tradition. My history and flavors intertwine to create an unforgettable experience, a tribute to the city that birthed me and the artisans who continue to brew me with love and passion. So, my friend, raise your glass high, and let Anchor Steam be your guide on a voyage through time and taste.

Anchor Brewing Company

Originally known as the Golden City Brewery, Anchor Brewing is now a true American pioneer; it is the first American craft brewery that has been located in San Francisco for almost 150 years. The tenacious brewery survived the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, the Prohibition era, and near-bankruptcy, and came out on top. With the help of Fritz Maytag, Anchor Brewing was saved and even stood out from the other craft breweries in America. The brewery is known for its iconic Steam Beer, as well as its revolutionary Liberty Ale, which is now known as the first American Pale Ale that started the IPA movement!
