It’s day eight of my seasonal scurry 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.
1982 was the eighth year that Anchor made their Christmas Ale, and it was similar to the seven previous year’s beers, another variation based on Liberty Ale, still a hoppy pale ale, with no spices added. This eighth label was a “Tanoak,” or “Notholithocarpus densiflorus.”
