BIG LEAF MAPLE BEER FULL
In autumn, the bigleaf maple’s huge leaves, up to a foot across, can display a full range of color as they slowly turn from green to gold to red. A distinct, handmade beer deserves a distinct, handmade label and BigLeaf Maple is no exception. Since the 1970’s, Anchor Brewing has worked with renowned local Artist Jim Stitt to create our beer labels. The result is a distinctive fall seasonal with extraordinary depth and intriguing aroma. To complement these flavors, Anchor Brewing uses three additions of Nelson Sauvin hops in the brewkettle and a unique blend of Nelson Sauvin, Citra, and Cascade for dry hopping. Its malty complexity and coppery color come from a combination of two caramel malts, pale malt, and a hint of maple syrup.
