Keeping in the tradition of the 19th century California brewers, we use a lager yeast to ferment 2xSteam. Historically, this style is fermented at higher temperatures than a typical lager and that is just how we’re brewing our version. The birth California Common style is rooted in the Victorian age. We use the technology of today to replicate what may have been, much like steampunks. Of course in that way, we have to twist things up a bit. As is with our 2x line of beers, 2xSteam is turned up a few clicks. An unusual take on an unusual style.
