The Anchor Brewing Story: America's First Craft Brewery & San Francisco's Original Anchor Steam Beer

內容簡介

內容簡介 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 Homebrewing San 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.
