Steam Beer, also known as California Common, is a distinctly American style that balances smooth malt character with firm, woody hop bitterness. Light caramel malt notes provide structure, while Northern Brewer hops contribute minty, herbal, and slightly woody aromatics.

Fermented with a lager yeast at warmer temperatures, the beer finishes clean and crisp while maintaining the character of an ale.

  • Pilsen dry malt extract
  • Northern Brewer hops (bittering)
  • Northern Brewer hops (flavor)
  • Liberty hops (flameout)
  • Specialty steeping grains
