Anchor Brewery

Anchor Brewery, a classic of American brewing since 1896, has played a significant role in San Francisco’s rich history. Anchor’s eight unique beers are all produced in one of the most traditional and handsome breweries in the world. Each brew is virtually handmade from an all-malt mash in our handcrafted copper brew house, a veritable museum of the simple, traditional breweries of old.

Anchor Steam®

Anchor Steam® derives its unusual name from the 19th century when “steam” was used as a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. Anchor Steam® has a deep amber color, thick creamy head, and rich flavor, which all testify to the traditional brewing methods still used today and is like no other in the world. Anchor Steam® is available year-round in a 12 oz. and a new 22oz. bottles with an alcohol by volume level (ABV) of 4.9%.


Anchor Liberty Ale®

Anchor Liberty Ale® was first introduced in 1975, with an ABV level of 6% and using only natural ingredients – water, malted barley, fresh whole hops, and yeast. Special top-fermenting ale yeast is used during fermentation and is responsible for many of Liberty Ale’s subtle flavors and characteristics. Carbonation is produced by an entirely natural process called “bunging,” which produces champagne-like bubbles. Dry-hopping or adding fresh hops to the brew during aging, imparts a unique aroma to the ale. Enjoy year round!


Anchor's Porter

Anchor’s Old Fashion Porter, America’s ultimate dark brew since 1974, is hopped at a very high rate, and is naturally carbonated to produce an intensely rich flavor and thick creamy head. Specially roasted dark malts are used, along with a top-fermenting yeast. Brewed with simple, natural methods that are both traditional and unique, this delicious beer is aesthetically pleasing and wholly superior in every respect. ABV level of 5.6%.


Old Foghorn®

Old Foghorn® Barleywine Style Ale is brewed strictly according to traditional brewing methods, using only natural ingredients. Old Foghorn is based on traditional English barley wines. Old Foghorn is highly hopped, using only Cascade hops. It is fermented with true top-fermenting ale yeast. Small batches of Old Foghorn have been produced since 1975. Today, it is available both on draught and in twelve-ounce bottles. The original gravity and full flavor of this ale make it a unique product, perfect for sipping after dinner. ABV level of 8-10%.
