Producer's description
The roots of the brewery "Anchor" back to the early 1850s, the period of "gold rush" in California when brewing pioneer Gottlieb Brackley arrived in San Francisco from Germany. In 1871, he bought an old saloon with a pool table and pub near Russian Hill and turned it into a small brewery. Twenty-five years of the brewery bought a German brewer Ernst F. Baruch and his son Otto Shinkler and renamed it to "anchor" ("Anchor"). After a fire in 1906, Otto Shikler brewery opened a new location south of Market Street. Next to the brewery fell on hard times. It changed hands, the opening, then closing. One hundred years later, in 1971, he bought the brewery Fritz Dushanzi District, which has invested a lot of money, not just to save the brewery from bankruptcy, but also eager to revive the tradition of brewing beer crafting and creating. He found a new building for the brewery and started the production of five new varieties. In 2010, Dushanzi District sells a plant, and the new owners Anchor implement plans for the conservation of iconic brands, expansion of production and consolidate its position as a leader in crafting brewing.
