The A-Steam

A hybrid style unique to the U.S. that dates back to the late 1800's in California when refrigeration was a great luxury. At the time, brewers had to improvise to cool the beer down, so shallow fermenters were used that made the brewery rooftops look "steamy". Being a lager, the yeast was trained to ferment quicker at warmer temperatures like an ale. Our rendition is light amber to tawny red in color, medium bodied, and possess a malty character. Expressions of mild fruitiness along with an herbal yet assertive hop bitterness. I love it when a beer comes together! Show Less
