    Anchor Brewing Teams Up with the San Francisco Giants to Release Orange Splash Lager™ in Cans
    San Francisco, CA (March 30, 2016) – Anchor Brewing Company and the San Francisco Giants announce the limited edition collaboration brew, Orange Splash Lager™ (5.2% ABV), now available in cans.

    “We’re very excited to release the San Francisco Giants inspired craft beer: Orange Splash Lager,” said Anchor Brewmaster Scott Ungermann. “We first introduced Orange Splash Lager in limited quantities on draught in the fall of 2015. This year, we’re introducing the beer in cans! When creating this beer, we wanted to make something as unique as the city’s beloved baseball team. We did this by combining a blend of Pale 2-Row, Caramel, and Patagonia Especial Malts. We hopped the beer generously with Apollo and Bravo hops in the Brewkettle and added a healthy amount of Mandarin Orange juice. We also added orange peels at three different stages of the brewing process and dry-hopped on a citrus-like experimental hop variety. The final result is an orange-zesty, citrusy, thirst-quenching lager with a unique San Francisco twist."

    Fans can find Orange Splash Lager in cans and on draught at select bars, restaurants, and stores in Northern California, Nevada, and Hawaii, as well as at the Anchor Brewing Taproom and Anchor Brewing Beer Garden at The Yard in San Francisco. Find Giants Orange Splash Lager using the Anchor Beer Finder.

    Saw this available in a supermarket last night, but wasn't sure if I should pick it up. Anyone try it?

    Had it at the ballpark last Thursday. Not bad. Good session or lawnmower beer. I want to try the lemon & mango beers they have out now as well.
