Anchor Steam Beer Signs
Anchor Steam Beer is San Francisco’s flagship steam beer, a hybrid lager fermented warm like an ale—and one of the most important beers in American craft brewing.
Anchor Brewing traces to 1896, when Ernst F. Baruth and Otto Schinkel Jr. bought a Gold Rush-era brewery. Steam beer itself is older: 19th-century West Coast brewers used lager yeast without ice, cooling wort in the foggy air. Anchor became the last major producer of the style and later trademarked the name “Steam Beer”; others call similar beers California Common.
By 1965 the brewery was nearly dead. Fritz Maytag bought it, cleaned up sanitation and recipes, switched to all-malt (pale and caramel) with Northern Brewer hops, and began bottling in 1971. That version, amber-copper, caramel malt, woody-herbal hops, lively carbonation from kräusening—is widely treated as the first modern American craft beer. ABV is typically about 4.8–4.9%.
Ownership later passed to investors, then Sapporo. The brewery closed in 2023; Chobani founder Hamdi Ulukaya bought the assets in 2024. As of 2026 the classic labels have been approved again and the Potrero Hill site shows signs of revival, but regular production has not fully resumed.
