Workers at San Francisco's Anchor Brewing are trying to buy the brewery as it faces liquidation under Sapporo ownership
But earlier this month, executives said it would shutter the brewery and liquidate its assets.
"We are not asking for a handout or charity," Pedro de Sá, a representative for the Anchor union, wrote in the letter, per Vinepair."All we want is a fair shot at being able to continue to do our jobs, make the beer we love, and keep this historic institution open. The letter asks Sapporo USA president Mike Minami to indicate potential interest in pursuing a deal with the workers by the end of the day on Friday. Anchor and Sapporo did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the letter or the closing from Insider.
