TAC70 CRAFT BEER Turning 70 is a milestone, and we are celebrating our birthday all year long with special treats, promotions, events, and…our very own American Club craft beer! After months of research and hard work – tasting mug after mug of delicious beer is very hard work – our 70 th birthday craft beer is finally ready. Devin, our General Manager, wanted to create a special American Beer to celebrate The Club’s 70 th birthday and suggested a “Steam Beer”, originating in the West Coast of America. “Steam” was a nickname for beer brewed under primitive conditions and without modern refrigeration. While the origin of the name remains shrouded in mystery, it is likely related to the original practice of fermenting beer on San Francisco’s rooftops in a cool climate. The foggy night air naturally cooled the fermenting beer, creating steam off the warm open pans. In keeping with this can-do and innovative spirit of early Americans, lager yeast, which in Europe would have fermented in colder ambient temperature, is fermented at warmer San Francisco’s ale yeast temperature. This explains the interesting flavor profile of our beer and the malty and hoppy characteristics. On top of these distinct flavors, Members also may be able to pick out the estery fruity flavors that come from the fermentation process.
