Anchor Steam Brewing Co
Anchor Brewing has played a significant role in San Francisco's rich history.

A special top-fermenting ale yeast is used during fermentation and is responsible for many of Liberty Ale's subtle flavors and characteristics.

#2 Anchor Steam
ABV: 4.9% | Other Ale
San Francisco's famous Anchor Steam, the classic of American Brewing tradition since 1896, is virtually handmade, with an exceptional respect for the ancient art of brewing.

Alt “old,” is an adjective that Germans tend to use wistfully. Altbier is similar to ales found in Belgium and England, but the German style has its own unmistakable personality.

Lagunitas Brewing Co.
From our earliest days of striving to make consistently good beer, and instead making beer that ranged from vile, to barely drinkable, to wonderful, to elegant, to questionable-at-best. From being castigated by our West Marin neighbors to finally suffering an 'eviction' by our West Marin septic system. From landing in the welcoming arms of Petaluma, and actually getting our beer into bottles, onto the streets, and into the hands of sympathatic beer geeks, to steadily losing less money each month. From all this and more, Lagunitas Brewing Company is emerging as a battle-tested brewery capable of making great beer out of goat's milk, brambles, and asphalt on the surface of the Moon, if need be.

#1 Roslyn Dark Lager
ABV: 4% | German-Style Lager
Roslyn Beer is our original brew and flagship brand. This mild dark lager, with a distinct character, closely resembles the lager handcrafted by the German brewmeisters at the original Roslyn Brewery and Malting Company one hundred years ago. If it were an ale, it would probably be classified as a porter. Don’t let the color fool you though, it goes down lighter than it looks. We use our own recipe of Roslyn water, fresh from the Cascade Mountains, six types of malted barley and three hop varieties to produce this smooth lager.
#2 Brookside Pale Lager
ABV: 4.5% | German-Style Lager
A pale lager beer made without the darker malts that we use in Roslyn Beer. It is hopped primarily with Yakima Hallertau hops, and may remind you of a beer you’d find at a small gasthaus in Germany. It is especially popular with people who like full-bodied, lighter beers with mild hopping, and is named for the Brookside neighborhood of Roslyn.
Samuel Adams - The Boston Beer Company
The Boston Beer Company began in 1984 with a generations-old family recipe that Founder and Brewer Jim Koch uncovered in his father’s attic. After bringing the recipe to life in his kitchen, Jim brought it to bars with the belief that drinkers would appreciate a complex, full-flavored beer, brewed fresh in America. That beer was Samuel Adams Boston Lager®. Today, the Company brews more than 21 styles of beer. The Company uses the traditional four vessel brewing process and often takes extra steps like dry-hopping and a secondary fermentation known as krausening.

#2 Samuel Adams Boston Lager
ABV: 4.9% | Lager
Samuel Adams Boston Lager® is an excellent example of the fundamentals of a great beer, offering a full, rich flavor that is both balanced and complex.

During secondary fermentation ale yeast was added. The two yeasts worked in tandem to produce a crisp and fruity profile.
