The San Francisco-based brewery was founded in 1896.
Anchor Brewing is open to considering a potential offer from employees looking to buy and save the storied San Francisco brewery, a spokesperson confirmed Saturday., sending shockwaves throughout the Bay Area and prompting its beer to start flying off of shelves. The brewery was a pioneer in California’s craft beer scene, founded in 1896 and surviving prohibition in the 1920s and early 1930s.
But in the last week and a half, a group of employees have been frantically working to preserve Anchor’s 127-year-old legacy. And the company now says it’s open to the sale. Singer said the union spokesperson also clarified that the inquiry into purchasing the brewery was on behalf of a group of unidentified employees and not the union itself.
In a tweet Saturday morning, the Anchor Union said they were “overwhelmed with the responses for help.”
