Anchor Steam Beer
Anchor Brewing has played a significant role in San Francisco’s history. Anchor Steam, a classic of American brewing tradition since 1896, can trace its heritage back to the California Gold Rush era.
The name Steam comes from West-Coast slang – to describe beers brewed under primitive conditions. Probably referring to when beers were brewed on San Francisco rooftops with steam emanating from the open pans.
