No. 1: CaliForNia lager
Zymaster n [Gk zyme leaven + master — more at zymurgy] 1: a new word coined by Anchor Brewing to describe a
brewmaster with hands-on experience throughout the a-to-z process of creating a new beer, from the research and selection of the raw materials and development of a recipe to brewing, fermentation, cellaring, and finishing 2: a unique series of beers from Anchor Brewing, rooted in its exceptional respect for the ancient art and noble traditions of brewing and featuring extraordinary ingredients, innovative techniques, and unusual flavors
Anchor Brewing Zymaster Series No. 1: California Lager TM
Anchor Steam® Beer’s roots date back to the sundry and mysterious adaptations and improvisations of brewers to the primitive conditions they faced during the California gold rush, long before icehouses and modern refrigeration made traditional lager beer a viable California option. Early efforts notwithstanding, it wasn’t until the winter of 1875/76 that a California brewer was able to create—thanks in part to the ready availability
of ice in the mountains near Truckee—what might be called the first true California lager. The inaugural brew of the Anchor Brewing ZymasterTM Series is our attempt to re-create such a beer. Brewed from the finest California barley, Cluster hops—the premier hop variety in 19th–century California—lager yeast, and water, it is, quite simply, re-discovered gold.
