Just overall I find their beers a bit underwhelming compared to other local breweries. Even forgoing some of the amazing craft breweries around here (Laughing Monk!), I’d typically choose a Trumer over Anchor Steam, or some other local beer.

You might just not like the style. I believe they ferment at a higher temperature which gives it that funkier taste. I had a trumer for the first time on the 4th. Was pretty pretty good

Steam beer is fermented at higher temperatures, and Anchor Steam used open fermentation, which apparently costs more.
