which was cruelly sprung on all of us this July
in an announcement literally released in the middle of the night. A few months later, public enmity toward the ownership at Sapporo remains, and there have been a few unrealistic attempts to bring the Anchor brand back from the dead, none of which seemed to gain any momentum.
The legendary Fritz Maytag acquired a controlling stake of Anchor Brewing in 1965, and set about modernizing the facilities and production after a long period of downtrending business when almost the entirety of all American beer was produced by just a couple large companies.
Sadly, the museum currently has no plans for a full, stand-alone exhibition related specifically to Anchor, but the materials collected will be available to historians and students, or other museums, and may find their way into future exhibitions. “This donation is significant to our American brewing history collection because it preserves the history and contributions of Anchor Brewing Co. of San Francisco, California,” said museum curator Theresa McCulla. “This tremendously influential business is widely recognized as the first American microbrewery. The ingenuity and dedication to the craft of brewing modeled at Anchor Brewing Co. inspired generations of brewers and changed the course of the industry.
