A popular Holiday Wheat Lager recipe from a popular brewer.
A California Common (American Lager). Anchor Brewing Company has always been very generous to homebrewers. This recipe makes a beer similar in flavor to Anchor Steam, but a bit bigger in mouthfeel, hops and malt flavors. If you want a beer a bit drier and more like Anchor Steam, eliminate the Munich, Victory and pale chocolate malts.

A Steam Beer, this one is very smooth with a light sweetness and 6.7 percent alcohol by volume.
I like Henry’s Dark on tap and decided I wanted to clone it for a brew kit at my store. It turned out well, better in fact. I have people who brew it regularly.
This is a great, easy-to-make pilsner-style beer made with ale yeast — no lagering required. Comes close to many commercial light pilsners, with just a bit more flavor.
This has been one of our store’s most popular recipes for years — brewed many times by many brewers. Unanimous opinion: a tasty, hoppy brew that does justice as a clone of Anchor Steam.
