World of Beer’s first #WOBTrip of summer starts on the West Coast at America’s first craft brewery, Anchor Brewing Company. This June, the brewery will be providing WOB with an exclusive limited-release summer seasonal: California Uncommon™ Kölsch-Style Ale with Meyer Lemons. This Kölsch-style ale with a twist can only be found at the brewery and on draught at WOB taverns nationwide, beginning June 5.
“Our commitment to craft beer is evident by the company we keep, and Anchor Brewing’s reputation precedes itself,” said Paul Avery, World of Beer CEO and President. “There’s no better way to kick off WOBTrips this summer than with the release of the limited
California Uncommon in taverns nationwide.”
California Uncommon is made with pale and Pilsen barley malt, a touch of white wheat, cluster hops, a new experimental hop, Kölsch ale yeast and Meyer lemons.
“This special beer is the perfect summer brew,” said Anchor Brewmaster Mark Carpenter. “The unusual brewing process — using ale yeast that’s cellared at very cool, more lager like temperatures — makes for a refreshingly effervescent German-style ale called a Kölsch. Giving the beer a California twist, we added our home-grown Meyer lemons during the brewing process to give the beer a distinctive, zesty citrus aroma and flavor that keeps you coming back for more.”
