Add some more sugar and some hops, plus that lager yeast, and there you had it: a new style of beer. Except not exactly. It could have been that pressure, or the sound that release of that pressure made when barrels were tapped and bottles opened. Sound familiar? Whatever the origins of its name, the style took. Pre-Prohibition accounts have breweries throughout the West making this hastily invented, rudimentary lager-ale hybrid by the start of the 20th century.
In its earliest decades, the Anchor Brewing Co. Then it survived Prohibition and the post-World War II consolidation of the brewing industry that destroyed so many of its smaller brethren.
It limped into the s with antiquated equipment and a single employee — probably the smallest working brewery in America and likely the only one making steam beer in large quantities.
In the s, big operations such as Anheuser-Busch and Miller were hoovering up market share with uniformly made pilsner that tasted much blander and sweeter than its Czech original.

The idea of owning the last small-batch, traditional brewery in San Francisco — maybe in America — appealed to him. He ditched the sugar and food coloring that the old Anchor was using, and switched to all malted grains, especially crystal malt aka caramel malt.
He started using the Northern Brewer hop, a relatively young breed from England. The end result of these changes was a consistently delicious and unique beer ready for bottling, which Maytag finally did in April It was soon available beyond California, especially in Colorado and parts of the East Coast. It was a curiosity at the time, a bubbly, malty, kind of bittersweet alternative to the watery pilsners dominating the marketplace. The bready, toasty and caramel malt sweetness is balanced by woody hops and a prominent hop bitterness that lingers into a crisp and dry finish.
The breadiness from the malt lingers gently into the aftertaste. This beer pours an inviting copper color with an orange hue that pulls you into the glass. Jump to navigation. Sign-In Create Account.
