Stile Wines

Anchor Liberty Ale

Uses only natural ingredients -water, malted barley, fresh whole hops and yeast. A special top-fermenting ale yeast is used during fermentation while carbonation is produced by an entirely natural process called "bunging". Dy-hopping imparts a unique aroma to the ale. It is a process rarely used in this country today.

Specially roasted dark malts are used, along with a top-fermenting yeast.
