San Francisco is bidding farewell to one of its most iconic businesses, Anchor Brewing Company.
October 30, 2019
Employees of Anchor Brewing were given 60 days' notice and promised severance packages, the company said this week. Anchor has long been hailed a trailblazer for brewing craft beers. When Stanford University grad Fritz Maytag acquired the brewery in the 1960s, he implemented new practices and unique brewing techniques like dry hopping, according to the company's history, and his first bottled batches sold in 1971 made Anchor a hit with consumers beyond the Northern California market, at a time when many Americans were loyal to larger beer brands.Anchor Steam Beer Brewery worker, March 28, 1978.
By the mid-70s, beer geeks nationwide sought out the portfolio of beers that included Anchor Porter, Liberty Ale, Old Foghorn Barleywine Ale and its first Christmas Ale, which went on to be an annual bestselling seasonal tradition. Anchor was never *just* a brewery. The story of how Fritz Maytag saved a brewery became the founding myth for American craft beer. Anchor was at once the past and the future, proof that small breweries could exist outside an ecosystem of commodity lagers.
