E-Malt.com News article: USA, CA: Anchor Brewing from San Francisco releases No.5 in the Zymaster brewing series

Anchor Brewing has been revolutionizing beer production since 1965. It originated today’s craft beer movement and produced America’s first craft-brewed, dry-hopped ale in 1975.

Over the years, Anchor Brewing experimented with many different hops from around the world. For Zymaster Series No. 5: Harvest One American Pale Ale, Anchor Brewing decided to feature an experimental new hop variety. This yet unnamed aroma hop provides a uniquely Anchor twist to Zymaster 5.

A late addition to the boil plus dry hopping provides Harvest One with an incredibly lively hop aroma reminiscent of tree-ripened peaches, with just a hint of fresh melon. The result is a uniquely exciting new beer unlike anything brewed or tasted before.

Beginning on October 14, 2013, Zymaster Series No. 5: Harvest One American Pale Ale will be available in select California markets in 22-ounce bottles and on draught, as well at the Anchor Brewing taproom in San Francisco. In the coming months this release will be available nationally, Brewbound reported on October 14.

About Anchor Brewing Company

Anchor Brewing Company’s roots date back to the California gold rush making it one of America’s oldest breweries. Its Anchor Steam® Beer is San Francisco’s original since 1896. In 1965, Fritz Maytag acquired and revived the struggling brewery at a time when mass production of beer dominated and seemed unstoppable. Maytag started a revolution in beer that originated today’s craft beer movement. An undisputed icon, Anchor is America’s first craft brewery where beers are handmade in a traditional copper brewhouse from an all-malt mash. Anchor practices the art of classical brewing, employing state-of-the-art methods to ensure that their beers are always pure and fresh.
