This beer was inspired by life in the Big Easy, the Mississippi River and the paddlewheel steamboats that have traveled these waters for nearly two centuries. When you kick back and watch the Mississippi from the levee, the boats and barges seem to slip by at a snail’s pace, easing on down the river.The Mississippi rolls right through the heart of New Orleans, past Jackson Square. Yet beneath the placid surface, the mighty Mississippi pulses with power. Our Big Easy Session IPA delivers the same powerful hop flavor you expect from an IPA, with a body, finish, and ABV that makes this beer go down easy.

While riverboats were once tools of commerce, today they treat friends, neighbors and sightseers to tours of the river and impressive views of the powerful paddlewheel in action. Whether you are boarding a riverboat cruise, attending a music festival, hanging in the park or headed to the beach, there’s nothing like good friends and a cooler full of Big Easy to toast the occasion.

Brewery: Anchor Brewing City: San Francisco, California

Description: An American original style that harks back to the era before the scourge of prohibition devastated the country’s brewing industry, steam beer is fermented with lager yeast at warmer temperatures more common to ale brewing. Anchor Steam is round and full-flavored but with a crisp and clean finish from the lager yeast. The beer is hopped entirely with Northern Brewer hops, which provide the signature woody, herbal (some even say minty) character to the aroma and flavor. Anchor is one craft brewery that predates the craft beer movement, and every glass of Anchor Steam is like tasting American brewing history.

Enjoy a SoCal summer year-round with Tangerine Soul Style IPA. This delectable brew is a one way ticket to taste bud paradise. Relax and take in the brilliant, golden color and fresh aroma of effervescent tangerine. Tangerine zest carries throughout, accented by bright, floral, tropical flavors and a juicy finish. Brewed with American malts and a blend of Citra and Cascade hops, this is a beautiful brew to behold.
