Anchor brewing for better beer
A beer review

Ok, enough ranting. In other words, Liberty Ale and the rest of Anchor Brewing Company's brews are respectable. It has a long tradition, and is in the heart of San Francisco, one of America's great cities. To say the least, its taste is off the richter.
Liberty Ale is offered only in bottles, another plus. It weighs in at a hearty 6.0 percent alcohol content, a decent strength for the average social drinker. It is made with all natural products of water, malted barley, fresh hops and yeast.
According to the brewery website, Liberty Ale is brewed with a special top-fermenting yeast that gives the brew that desired head and foam. Its carbonation is produced through a process called "bunging," which makes special, champagne-like bubbles. Lastly, dry hops are added to the brew during the aging process. This creates a distinct flavor and is not a normal "standard" method or practice in brewing.
Anchor steam, or any of the seven brewing company's beers are great.
If I had to choose a beer to have with a meal - it would be an Anchor Steam from the tap. There are no flaws, and that is what I need with a satisfying dinner. A beer that won't fill me up too much, tastes first-class, and keeps me feeling good.
