Todd Haire’s take on the Steam Beer style, inspired by the iconic Anchor Steam Beer.
This one isn’t just a nod to a traditional style, it’s a deeply personal take. It’s one of the beers that first sparked Todd’s interest in brewing, the one that set him on the path to pulling on his brewer’s boots in the first place.
What makes this release especially meaningful is that it was brewed alongside his daughter, Ella, a brewer here at Foam. A full-circle moment that ties past and present together.
There’s even more history in this glass. Anchor Steam was the beer Todd served at his wedding 30 years ago. So this beer isn’t just about revisiting a style, it’s a walk down memory lane of the moments, memories, and people that have led him here.
Our version starts with Briess Pale and Victory malt, then is hopped solely with Segal Ranch Northern Brewer hops. Expect a malt-forward profile with notes of caramel, toast, and fresh bread, balanced by a beautiful hop bitterness with a smooth, clean finish.

Can from mix pack. Pours orange brown fine top. Nos win light but that is per style. Tastes of grains and caramel and light florals. Lighter bodied. They accomplished what they were looking for
