I'm glad to see that someone else likes Anchor Steam!  (Interesting, too, to
see that it's apparantly hard to find even in its native area.)  Anchor
Brewing Co. also makes very good ale and porter; unfortunately, these are
usually even harder to find than the Steam Beer.

Consumer Reports tested beer last year (7/83) and not only included Anchor
Steam but actually liked it, rating it "Very Good" ("Unusual flavor and aroma
of strong malt and caramel... rather idiosyncratic in taste and price").

The Wall Street Journal even mentioned Anchor Steam briefly a couple of weeks
back, in an editorial comparing local banks with local breweries.

I know of two places in the Boston suburbs where Anchor products can usually
be found: Vinebrook Bottle Shop in Lexington (rt. 4/225, opp. Stop & Shop) 
and Woodlawn's (or something like that) in Burlington (Middlesex Tpk. &
Wheeler Rd., just south of 128).  I'm sure there are several others.
