So sad. Steam beer is a specialized lager fermented at a higher temperature due to the fact that there was no refrigeration on the west coast in the late 19th century. They made other wonderful beers, too. Their Liberty Ale was a fantastic pale ale. And their christmas beers were superb.
Glad I figured out my homebrew clone recipe when I did...Will have to brew a batch this weekend.
Anchor Steam and Anchor Liberty got me started in homebrewing, 30 years ago.
