steam beer is a trademark by R343L (4.00 / 1) #10 Tue Sep 04, 2007 at 09:58:46 AM EST
It is incredibly stupid. It has been called that for at least 100 years and is just ale-like beer brewed with lager yeast at ale temperatures.

But Anchor went ahead and trademarked what was a common term for this style of beer. So we are stuck with "California Common" as the official, non-trademark-infringing name.
