Anchor Christmas Ale 1980

November 19, 2016 By Jay Brooks

xmas-christmas-ale
It’s day six of my seasonal sprint to Christmas featuring all 42 labels from Anchor’s Christmas Ale — a.k.a. Our Special Ale — all different beers (well, mostly different) and all different labels, each one designed by local artist Jim Stitt, up to and including this year’s label.

1980 was the sixth year that Anchor made their Christmas Ale, and it was similar to the five previous year’s beers, another variation based on Liberty Ale, still a hoppy pale ale, with no spices added. This sixth label was an “Oak Tree,” or “Genus: Quercus.”
