A bit more of a pictorial than a beer label!

The racing yachts have plenty of speed but they cannot carry cargo.
It appears that the brewery produced a celebratory drink last time the Americas Cup was held nearby.

The mention of Hull in your last drink, Rob, reminded me that before the Humber Bridge was built the only way to cross the River Humber was by means of a paddle steamer ferry.
Attachment 30537
Sadly, the paddle steamer mentioned on the pump label is not the one from Hull, which was called the Lincoln Castle.

This is probably a good place to hide your pirate ship.

The brewer is being rather clever about naming this beer because his name is Greg Algar.

It took the average clipper three to four months to sail from New York to San Francisco. But not the Flying Cloud, which, in 1851, made the trip in 89 days and 21 hours anchor to anchor. With the exception of its own 89 day and 8 hour voyage three years later, its record remained unbroken until 1989. Thanks to this clipper’s "extreme" design and the savvy of its captain, Josiah Creesy, and his wife and navigator Eleanor, the Flying Cloud quickly became a San Francisco sailing legend.

About the name, the brewery writes," Anchor Steam® Beer derives its unusual name from the 19th century when “steam” was a nickname for beer brewed on the West Coast of America under primitive conditions and without ice. While the origin of the name remains shrouded in mystery, it likely relates to the original practice of fermenting the beer on San Francisco’s rooftops in a cool climate. In lieu of ice, the foggy night air naturally cooled the fermenting beer, creating steam off the warm open pans. Once a nickname for any Californian or West Coast beer brewed under these conditions, today the name “steam” is a trademark of Anchor Brewing and applies only to the singular process and taste of our flagship brand - San Francisco’s original Anchor Steam® Beer. The classic of American brewing tradition since 1896."
So many good brews :beer: What a pity I cannot drink any more :sad:
