sweet, nourishing beer

Just came back from the Anchor Brewing Company tour. I went with six coworkers (including my boss). The smell of malt was evident as we approached the building (a scant five blocks from work), and increased a lot as we went inside. After a not inconsiderable wait, it turned out that the tour guide was out of town, so someone was rushed up to replace her. He did a good job and showed us around for about 40 minutes, then fed us much beer. I didn't care for the porter, but then i don't like porter, but this particular porter was lighter and had a nicer balance than other porters i've tried. The barleywine was nice. Their 50/50 barley/wheat beer was good, and of course their Steam and Liberty Ale were their usual rock-solid selves. Unfortunately, i wanted to try their Small Beer but he had none available. A great experience.
