- Hello, and welcome back. I'm Traci Ramos, and this is BoozeNation, the Podcast. Where I speak with people from the bar and restaurant industry of San Francisco about all things bar-related.
- It's August, and it's still freezing in San Francisco. Sorry to the rest of California. And devastating news about Maui, please keep Maui in your thoughts I'm assuming there will be a lot of fundraisers in the city, and I'll be posting about the fundraisers when I find out.
- On July 12, about a month ago, we discovered that Anchor Brewery was closing and shutting its doors. I was shocked. I think many people in the beer, bar, and San Francisco were as well. I took Anchor Brewery for granted; I thought it would operate in San Francisco forever.
- 2017 - Sapporo buys Anchor - 100% ownership.
- 2023 - closure.
- "It's pretty frustrating to see their press release take the typical SF cop-out and blame it on "high production costs" to piggyback off of people thinking sf is in a state of decay. When in reality a big huge foreign business bought a local staple, tried to brute force it through their own business practice, failed almost immediately and now have to liquidate a 130-year-old brand. Classic." Dave Hahn Madrone Bartender.
- Thank you, Dave - He fucking nailed it. And today, I am talking to Patrick Machel of Anchor Brewery; Patrick is part of the Local 6 warehouse union - union strong and a shop steward. We will get his take on all things related to Anchor Brewery.
