The Cellar. After several days in our open fermenters, the beer is dropped to the cellar by gravity. Here it completes its aging process. Brewers call this "coming into condition." All of our beers and ales are carbonated by the natural carbon dioxide that develops during this gradual conditioning process. For Anchor Steam, the carbon dioxide develops due to an ancient practice known among brewers as
kräusening.
