A unique low-alcohol brew reminiscent of an English bitter, with a light amber color and lots of hop character, Anchor Small« Beer is certainly not small on flavor.

Made from the second runnings of Old Foghorn« mash, Anchor Small« revives the ancient brewing tradition of creating two distinct beers from one mash û a sweeter, stronger and more expensive barleywine made for sipping, and a more plentiful drinking beer. Anchor Steam sprinkles warm water over the Old Foghorn mash after the first ôwortö has run off, creating a second, lighter brew. Technically, both beers are "ales" because they are made with top-fermenting yeast. Like its forebears, the result is an easy-drinking ôsessionö beer.
