RIP Anchor Brewing: Sapporo is shutting down the original American craft brewery. AnchorBrewing craftbeer beertwitter
It’s a headline that the savvy beer geeks and industry watchers had been dreading but expecting for several years now, and it’s finally here: The original American craft brewery is being shut down. Anchor Brewing Co., the influential modern incarnation of a company stretching all the way back to 1896, purchased and saved from the brink of extinction by Frederick Louis “Fritz” Maytag III in 1965, has presumably brewed its very last batch of steam beer.
Things seemed sustainable for Anchor at first, following the brewery’s 2010 sale from an exiting Maytag to Skyy Vodka execs Keith Greggor and Tony Foglio. In the years that followed, the company released new flagship producs such as Anchor California Lager, and greatly expanded production.
