California Common·Netherlands·4.8% ABV·One of 10 California Commons in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Anchorman's caramel and toasty character. Light toast and caramel shape this California Common, which the brewers built around the toasted malt sweetness and deep copper colour of their all-time favourite steam beer. Barley malt, hops and yeast are the only ingredients. The beer is made with respect and a good dose of nostalgia for the brewers who came before, and it reaches 4.8% ABV and 18 IBU.
