According to Anchor Brewing, the name "steam" came from the fact that the brewery had no way to effectively chill the boiling wort using traditional means. So they pumped the hot wort up to large, shallow, open-top bins on the roof of the brewery so that it would be rapidly chilled by the cool air blowing in off the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Ocean" title="Pacific Ocean">Pacific Ocean</a>. Thus while brewing, the brewery had a distinct cloud of steam around the roof let off by the wort as it cooled, hence the name. Another explanation is that the carbon dioxide pressure produced by the 19th-century steam-beer-making process was very high, and that it may have been necessary as part of the process to let off "steam" before attempting to dispense the beer. It is also possible that the name or brewing process derive from <i>Dampfbier</i> (literally <i>steam beer</i>), a traditional <a href="/wiki/Beer_in_Germany" title="Beer in Germany">German beer</a> that was also fermented at unusually high temperatures and that may have been known to 19th-century American brewers, many of whom were of German descent; Dampfbier is an <a href="/wiki/Ale" title="Ale">ale</a>, however, not a lager.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Brewing_process">Brewing process</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Steam_beer&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Brewing process"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Dampfbier.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Dampfbier.jpg/125px-Dampfbier.jpg" decoding="async" width="125" height="345" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/02/Dampfbier.jpg/188px-Dampfbier.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/02/Dampfbier.jpg 2x" data-file-width="238" data-file-height="657" /></a><figcaption>German <i>Dampfbier</i></figcaption></figure> <p>In 19th-century California, brewers found a strain of <a href="/wiki/Lager_yeast" class="mw-redirect" title="Lager yeast">lager yeast</a> which would ferment at higher temperatures. </p><p>The flavor of beer is influenced by the strain of yeast and the fermentation temperature. Lager yeast is best used at temperatures from 48 to 58 °F (9 to 14 °C). Classic lagering of beers takes place over a period of time from weeks to many months at a temperature of 37 °F (3 °C). Conversely, ale yeast is best used at temperatures from 55 to 75 °F (13 to 24 °C). Fermentation by ale yeasts produces a beer that has a more distinct flavor. Steam Beer uses bottom fermenting lager yeasts at ale temperatures, which results in a very distinctive flavor profile that includes both ale and lager characteristics.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>While steam beer is considered a specialty <a href="/wiki/Microbrew" class="mw-redirect" title="Microbrew">microbrew</a> style of beer today, it was originally a cheap beer made for <a href="/wiki/Blue_collar_worker" class="mw-redirect" title="Blue collar worker">blue collar workers</a>.

The others asked for beer. I said I'd take ginger ale. The boys snickered, and I noticed the barkeeper favoured me with a strange, searching scrutiny. Nevertheless, he opened a bottle of ginger ale. Afterward, back in the alleys, in the pauses between games, the boys enlightened me. I had offended the barkeeper. A bottle of ginger ale cost the saloon ever so much more than a glass of steam beer; and it was up to me, if I wanted to hold my job, to drink beer.</dd></dl> <p>As a budding writer, "a wild band of young revolutionists invited me as the guest of honour to a beer bust" and was challenged to a drinking contest. </p> <dl><dd>I'd show them, the young rascals....

He had a thick gray soup; heavy, underdone meat, very hot, on a cold plate; two kinds of vegetables; and a sort of suet pudding, full of strong butter and sugar. On his way back to his office, one block above, he stopped at Joe Frenna's saloon and bought a pitcher of steam beer. It was his habit to leave the pitcher there on his way to dinner.... By and by, gorged with steam beer, and overcome by the heat of the room, the cheap tobacco, and the effects of his heavy meal, he dropped off to sleep.</dd></dl> <p>When he marries, his wife convinces him to adopt more refined habits: </p> <dl><dd>She broke him of the habit of eating with his knife, she caused him to substitute bottled beer in the place of steam beer, and she induced him to take off his hat to Miss Baker, to Heise's wife, and to the other women of his acquaintance.</dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="California_Common_beer">California Common beer</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Steam_beer&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: California Common beer"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Apart from Anchor Steam, other commercial examples include Skyscraper Brewing Company Lug Nut Lager, Moab Brewery Rocket Bike Lager, Southampton West Coast Steam Beer, Old Dominion Victory Amber, Flying Dog Old Scratch Amber Lager, <a href="/wiki/Schlafly_Beer" title="Schlafly Beer">Schlafly's</a> Pi Common, Linden Street Common Lager, Eagle Steam Beer, 33 Acres Brewing Company California Common, Cosmic Brewing Company Plead the Fifth, and Mare Island Brewing Company War Bond. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Other_varieties_of_"steam_beer""><span id="Other_varieties_of_.22steam_beer.22"></span>Other varieties of "steam beer"</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Steam_beer&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Other varieties of "steam beer""><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Adam Wood Steam Brewery is listed as having been sold in 1859.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>A British brewery, the Lincolnshire Steam Beer Co., derives its name from the steam-powered brewing machinery. </p><p>When Canadian brewer <a href="/wiki/Sleeman_Breweries" title="Sleeman Breweries">Sleeman</a> introduced a product called Steam Beer in Canada in 1999, Anchor sued for trademark infringement, since it had trademarked the term <i>steam beer</i> in Canada ten years earlier.
