Details

Anchor Brewing has played a significant role in San Francisco's history and their unique beers are all produced in one of the most traditional and handsome breweries in the USA - each brew made from an all-malt mash in their handcrafted copper brew house.

An all-American beauty from California, the Anchor Liberty Ale has been setting the standard of American-style IPAs since 1975. It’s known as the first modern American single-hop and dry-hopped ale.

Effervescent carbonation brings bold aromas of orange peel, grapefruit, florals, and perhaps vanilla to the nose. A creamy mouthfeel is contrasted by its lively carbonation while flavour notes of grapefruit, orange and maybe even sugar cookies are balanced by a crisp lingering bitterness. It’s the perfect example of the style!

Brewery Info

Forerunners of America’s craft beer revolution in the 1970’s and 80’s, Anchor is America’s first and oldest craft brewery, with roots dating back to the California gold rush. Entwined with the history of San Francisco, they produce their beer in a traditional copper brewhouse, where ancient techniques are combined with state of the art technology.

Combining all-malt mash and whole-cone hops, Anchor beer ferments in the cool San Francisco air - giving off the steam that gave us the name Anchor Steam Beer. Their Liberty Ale was the original brew that started off the craft beer revolution - not a bad claim to fame!
