Small Beer

A unique brew reminiscent of an English bitter, with a light amber color and lots of hop character. It is made from the second runnings of our Old Foghorn mash. Anchor Small revives the ancient brewing tradition of creating two distinct craft beers from one mash. We sprinkle warm water over the Old Foghorn mash after the first “wort” has run off, creating a second, lighter brew. Technically, both beers are "ales" because they are made with top-fermenting yeast. The result is an easy-drinking “session” beer.
