I brewed my first California Common. The recipe was inspired by Anchor Steam. My motivation was a combination of Anchor's closing, attempts to earn points for a "lager" in the Master Homebrewer Program (MHP) and also just wanting an easy drinking and flavorful beer to share.
My friends at NOVA Homebrew liked the beer so much, they encouraged me to brew a 15 gallon batch to go on tap at Old Ox Brewery for American Craft Beer Week 2024. This batch also scored my highest single competition score sheet of all time (a 43!), but did not even place.
