Liberty Ale is Here!

Liberty Ale from Anchor Brewing of San Francisco has recently arrived in 6 pack form at Hillside Liquor Store.
First introduced in 1975, Liberty Ale is brewed strictly according to traditional brewing methods, and, like all Anchor Brewing Company products, uses only natural ingredients — water, malted barley, fresh whole hops and yeast.
A special top-fermenting ale yeast is used during fermentation and is responsible for many of Liberty Ale's subtle flavors and characteristics. Carbonation is produced by an entirely natural process called "bunging," which produces champagne-like bubbles. Dry-hopping (adding fresh hops to the brew during aging), imparts a unique aroma to the ale. It is a process rarely used in this country today.

One of our Receivers at Hillside Liquor Store bought a 6 pack and tried some last night and has this to say about Liberty Ale: at first sip, this beer seemed as if it would be quite bitter, but actually ends up being fairly smooth with a slight hop character- making it the perfect summer (or sunny day) beer! Completely quaffable, and a great example of a West Coast American Ale.

Hillside Liquor Store also carries the Anchor Steam beer, which has been produced in San Francisco since 1896.
