The Life and Death of Anchor Brewery
Whenever I had plans to visit San Francisco (back when I would still dare set foot in the place), I always had one location at the top of my list: The Anchor Brewery. Anchor was known among beer fans as one of, if not the best, brewery tours in America. Reservations for the Anchor Brewery tour were routinely booked up long in advance: For a long time, the tour was free, and it came with free beer at the end.
Of course, since it was free, there were a lot of no-shows, so by 2018, Anchor had begun to charge – and it got easier to book a tour. I went with a Bay Area local who had not been, and we both really enjoyed it. To this day, the Anchor Brewery remains the best brewery I’ve ever visited:
At four-foot-ten and 60-something, as always she greeted me with a warm smile, two lattes in her hands and her signature “hellooo Meester David.” I never ask her for the high end “rainforest” coffee for me and my colleague to give us the energy boost before we start our seminar, yet, each month she greets us in our hotel boardroom with a genuine desire to make sure I am happy.
