Our friends of Chris Robinson Brotherhood released their new album “Phosphorescent Harvest” and kicked off their U.S. tour in the SF Bay Area earlier this spring. To celebrate, we tapped the first keg of our Brotherhood Steam Beer, a Golden State Collaboration of handcrafted California tunes and handcrafted California brews. Inspired by the brewing tradition of our flagship, Anchor Steam® Beer, Brotherhood Steam Beer is brewed with its own unique recipe. A distinct malt bill gives the beer its copper color, and dry-hopping with Citra and Nelson Sauvin hops adds aromatic hints of citrus and mint. The result is a smooth, full-bodied malt flavor with a lingering, fresh hop finish. A long-standing English brewery tradition is to designate their beers, “Ordinary”, “Best or Special”, and “Extra Special Bitter” (ESB) to note beers of increasing strength. In the spirit of that tradition, we like to think of Brotherhood Steam Beer as an Extra Special Lager (ESL), aka “The Gig Beer” – an easy drinking brew from the first set to encore. This collaborative brew will be tapped at music venues across the US to celebrate the Brotherhood’s new album. Check out “Phosphorescent Harvest” and upcoming CRB tour dates.

    (12oz can) creamy head that’s already fallen. Bright orange body. Nice hoppy aroma. Seems much happier than the standard Anchor Steam brew. Bitterness clearly lingering on the palate. Body might be a little on the light side.

    12oz can pours with a clear copper body that supports a tall light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up lagery yeasty sort of apple esters as well as a mineral sensation flowing along with some floral hops that mingle with a dash of biscuit like malts. The taste is lagery where the experience starts off with modest smooth sweet malts that run quickly into lightly roasted malts and mineral notes. Behind that are the lagery yeasty esters and a pleasant modest spicy to somewhat floral hop bitterness. Pretty nice.

    I need to drink a regular anchor steam soon to get a fresh comparison, but this does not seem as good to me. Thinner in texture with less malt and flavor. Hops are different (dry-hopped) with more bitter and metallic flavor. Has a crisp feel, yet I prefer the creamy texture of the original steam.

    Comes out of the tap a beautiful amber with a fairly thick white head. Aroma has firm malty and fruity notes. Flavor is mainly malty with a nice fruity underpinning. Mouthfeel has average thickness but good, strong fizz. Join this brotherhood!
