(San Francisco, CA) – Today, Anchor Brewing announces the release of the fourth brew in their Zymaster® Series: Fort Ross Farmhouse Ale.

Anchor’s Fort Ross Farmhouse Ale (7.2% ABV) is a Belgian-style farmhouse ale with a California twist. The unique bitterness and earthy spiciness of Yerba Santa, a native California herb prized by the local Indians for its healing powers, perfectly complements the fruitiness and clove-like flavors created by a local saison-style yeast. Inspired by the California bounty, this brew celebrates the history and flora of Northern California like no other.

Zymaster Series No. 4: Fort Ross Farmhouse Ale will be available in draught and 22-ounce bottles and will be poured in select bars and restaurants throughout the United States, as well as the Anchor Brewing Taproom in San Francisco, starting June 2013.

At launch, Zymaster® Series No. 4: Fort Ross Farmhouse Ale will be available in California, Nevada, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, Hawaii, Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Oklahoma, Kansas, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, District of Columbia, Massachusetts, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina.
