Back in the beer dark ages Anchor and Sam were like the only decent US beers on the national market.
Bought sixes of two beers I had somehow never had, Anchor Steam and New Belgium 1554. Anchor Steam tastes like the ideal beer for a ballgame at Arlington: when it's stinking hot out and you need something sweet and light to feel better about how much you're sweating to watch baseball. I will keep it till it gets warmer outside. 1554 on the other hand... flat-out awesome. A bit of a poor man's St Bernardus, but then again, I am a poor man, and St Bernardus doesn't come in six-packs.
