Anchor Steam Beer
San Francisco’s famous Anchor Steam®, the classic of American brewing tradition since 1896, is virtually handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient art of brewing. The deep amber color, thick creamy head, and rich flavor all testify to our traditional brewing methods. Anchor Steam is unique, for our brewing process has evolved over many decades and is like no other in the world. Anchor Steam derives its unusual name from the 19th century when "steam" seems to have been a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. The brewing methods of those days are a mystery and, although there are many theories, no one can say with certainty why the word "steam" came to be associated with beer. For many decades Anchor alone has used this quaint name for its unique beer. In modern times, "Steam" has become a trademark of Anchor Brewing.

El nombre Steam (vapor) hace referencia a la cervezas fabricada en la costa oeste de América en condiciones muy precarias y sin hielo. Probablemente tiene que ver con la práctica original a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX de fermentar la cerveza en los tejados de San Francisco, en un clima frío. En la actualidad ’Steam’ ha derivado en una marca comercial registrada de la cerveza insignia de Anchor Brewing.
Color ámbar profundo. Aroma balanceado de grano tostado y lúpulo, ligeramente afrutado.
Sabor a galleta y malta tostada, notas de caramelo, frutas y cítricos.
Anchor Christmas Ale - Merry Christmas & Happy New Year - Our Special Ale
Our annual Christmas Ale is a subtly spiced and sumptuously smooth winter warmer. This year’s brew marks the 44th annual release of this Anchor holiday tradition.
Back in 1975, Anchor released the first holiday beer in America since Prohibition. Year after year, Anchor creates a new, secret recipe with a unique hand drawn label for their Christmas Ale, but the intent with each brew remains the same: joy for the changing seasons and celebration of the newness of life. With a heavily guarded, confidential recipe, Christmas Ale is sold only from early November to mid-January. This highly anticipated seasonal delight is complex and full in flavor, packed with toasty cocoa notes, roasted malts and strong aromas of resinous pine.
