The California Common or Steam beer, made famous by Anchor Brewing Company, is the quintessential example of the style behind this strain.  A hybrid lager strain that performs well at ale temperatures and demonstrates a full and provacative flavor profile.  An absolute must for San Francisco style lagers! Don't forget your Northern Brewer hops!

For best results we always recommend ordering an ice pack with your liquid yeast.

Please Note: When choosing an ice pack option beware that the liquid yeast will not arrive cold even when shipped together. Ice packs and insulated mailing options are designed to keep the yeast colder for longer during shipment, but they will not ensure that your yeast arrives cold. We will not replace liquid yeast that arrives warm. During warmer months we strongly recommend you choose dry yeast.
