Beer Catalog

San Francisko's Anchor brewery is famous for Steam beer, but the company has several other renowned brews. Among them is Liberty Ale, inspired by England bitter ales and first produced in 1975 as a commemorative brew to mark Paul Revere's 1775 ride to warn the American revolutionaries that the British were coming; thus started the War of Independence. Liberty was brought back as one year's Holiday Ale, and became a regular brew in 1983. It is hugely aromatic, though its bouquet is complex and rounded. The body is surprisingly light, but smooth and oily. The palate develops cleansing, appetizing, gin-like, lemon-rig flavors, and the finish is as dry a Martini cocktail.

A beer commemorating liberty from colonial rule might well display the American eagle.
