Never liked Anchor Steam - never tried anything else of theirs.
Was alsays a bummer when the ice chest at a party was filled with them.

I tried their Christmas Ale years ago in 2015, it was terrible, so bad I couldn't even drink another sip, then I got to looking at the bottle and realized it was from 2014. I always intended to give Anchor another go, never did and now I can't.

The smaller, "mom & pop" owned, microbreweries are putting larger breweries out of business.

In 2019, Anchor Brewing workers voted by an almost 2-to-1 margin to join the International Longshore and Warehouse Union making Anchor Brewing – including Anchor Public Taps, the brewery's on-site brew pub – the first unionized craft brewery in the United States.[33] The three-year union contract was officially ratified in 2020, providing workers with increased wages, health insurance, and other benefits.[34]
....
On July 12, 2023, Sapporo announced it was ceasing operations at Anchor and liquidating the business. Sapporo blamed the closure on decreased sales at restaurants and bars caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, competition from other local brewers, and a shift in consumer preferences to alcoholic beverages other than beer.[39][40][41] Employees were given a 60-day WARN notice on July 12.[42][43] The announcement led to significant outrage from brewery workers, San Francisco bartenders, and locals, with passing drivers chanting "keep brewing" outside the building.[44]

Don't feel too sorry for them. An international corporation is the owner.
