Anchor Brewing to launch San Pancho Mexican Style Lager with Lime

Anchor Brewing Co. announced the launch of a craft Mexican Style Lager with Lime called San Pancho, which will hit the US retail shelves this spring.

According to San Francisco craft brewery, this super-refreshing beer is a celebration of the vibrant traditions of murals and art within the Bay Area. With zingy citrus, sweet corn, and subtle maltiness, San Pancho is said to be crisp and perfect for drinking on a sunny afternoon.

San Pancho draws inspiration from the Mission District, one of the most storied areas within San Francisco, and an important central point of San Francisco’s Chicano community that is well-known for its vibrant murals and street art, well-known taquerias, and a vibrant nightlife.

Anchor Brewing’s brew team created San Pancho, a 4.9 percent lager to bring the sense of the place. San Pancho is brewed with lime, flaked and pale corn malts and Saaz hops for its balanced aroma and flavor.

San Pancho Mexican Style Lager with Lime adds to Anchor Brewing’s portfolio of beers, including classics such as Anchor Steam Beer, Anchor Porter, California Lager, Tropical Hazy IPA, Crisp Pilsner, and the previous season’s West Coast IPA.

Following the nationwide rollout, customers can purchase San Pancho in Anchor Best Coast variety packs, as well as in six-packs, and on draft across California. San Francisco locals can also try the new brew on tap at Anchor Public Taps in Potrero Hill.

Brewmaster Dane Volek said: “Anchor Brewing Co. has been at the forefront of craft lagers. We were drawn to the idea of a fresh and bright lager that’s distinctively San Franciscan and captures all the flavor and character you find in Mexican Style Lagers.

“The city’s Mission District pulses with energy and we aspired to capture that verve through San Pancho, a beer that is vibrant, chill and easy-to-love. Just like San Francisco.”
