Talking with Paul Illa we wanted to bring a little insight and
discussion about the California Common/Steam Beer. The most obvious
example is Anchor Steam beer. A lager hybrid fermented in a costal
environment at ale temps. Paul found a great older BYO article at
http://byo.com/stories/item/2123-california-common-style-profile that
discusses the origins of a steam beer. Jamil Zainasheff is the writer
who is a excellent beer knowledge source. What other versions have you
had? Have you brewed one? What was your process?
