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.
Founders Dirty Bastard
Scotch Style Ale
So good it’s almost wrong. Dark ruby in color and brewed with seven varieties of imported malts. Complex in finish, with hints of smoke and peat, paired with a malty richness and a right hook of hop power to give it the bad attitude that a beer named Dirty Bastard has to live up to. Ain’t for the wee lads.
----------
Tan buena que es casi malo. Cerveza de color rubí oscuro, elaborada con siete variedades de malta. Final complejo, con notas de humo y turba, además de un rico sabor a malta y un buen golpe de lúpulo que resaltan la actitud rebelde con la que esta cerveza llamada Dirty Bastard (Sucio Bastardo) tiene que vivir. No apta para los cobardes.
Coronado Mermaid’s Red
American Amber Ale de gran complejidad. Aroma floral/cítrico del lúpulo cascade. Sabores de caramelo, lúpulo y un leve tostado en boca. Una cerveza de mucho sabor pero a la vez fácil de tomar.
