Synopsis
The sweeping illustrated story of America&’s oldest and most iconic craft brewery, featuring a history of American brewing traditions and homebrew recipes for Anchor&’s top brews including Anchor Steam and California Lager&“A tale of worldly curiosity, brilliance, persistence, and a thirst to succeed . . . If you ever wondered why beer drinkers get passionate about good beer, read this book.&”—Charlie Papazian, author of The Complete Joy of HomebrewingSan Francisco&’s Anchor Brewing Co. is one of America&’s oldest breweries, with an extraordinary heritage rooted in the California Gold Rush. Undaunted and resilient, it has survived earthquakes, fires, insolvency, and Prohibition. In 1965, when mass-produced, mass-marketed beer completely dominated the American brewing landscape, Fritz Maytag rescued the nation&’s smallest brewery and its unique Anchor Steam Beer from the brink of bankruptcy. Focusing on tradition, quality, and flavor, Maytag transformed Anchor Brewing, igniting a revolution that paved the way for today&’s craft beer movement. Anchor brewery historian David Burkhart tells the story of America&’s first craft brewery in this compellingly definitive insider&’s guide. With three hundred images—most shown for the first time—and original homebrew recipes for four of Anchor&’s iconic brews (Anchor Steam, Anchor California Lager, Anchor Porter, and Liberty Ale), The Anchor Brewing Story is a book for beer drinkers, homebrewers, pro brewers, entrepreneurs, San Francisco–philes, and anyone who loves a good comeback tale.
