Summary
If there ever was a beer that started the craft beer movement, a beer with one foot firmly rooted in history, and led by an unlikely pioneer, it would have to be San Francisco's Anchor Steam Beer. A beer style that was practicly extinct, a mere footnote in the lineup of a failing brewery, and one which was given another moment in the sunshine thanks to mondern household appliances. Though the beers are gone, we raise our glasses to Fritz Maytag because if we ever have a chance to make another brewer better, it's because of him. So sit back and grab a pint for another Episode of The Beer Craft, Homebrewing Podcast. I know you're drooling already, so here is the recipe for your very own Anchor Steam Clone in Extract , or All-Grain .
