I really love this style. It comes up in my brewing rotation every 5 batches or so. I've never seen any other commercial version of it except Anchor Steam. Do any other breweries make Cali Common?

A few,
Southampton West Coast Steam Beer, Old Dominion Victory Amber, Flying Dog Old Scratch Amber Lager
One of my favorites, too. I'm doing an all-Clusters one now, doing a truly American style with the indigenous American hop.
Got one fermenting now. First try at the style. Used Northern Brewer Hops. Looking forward to trying it out. I have no idea what to expect.
Another possible indigenous hop to try would be California Ivanhoe.

Isn't that just Hopsmeister's brand name for their Clusters?
according to JZ and JP, a "true" Cali Common uses only NB hops. I think I'll mix it up a little next time and try to get my hand on some US Clusters.
