Anchor remains America’s first craft brewery though it’s no longer the oldest, having lost its title when Japan’s Sapporo Breweries purchased the business in August 2017. Still, the beloved San Francisco brew company has already sealed its place in the hearts of San Franciscans and beer lovers everywhere—tracing its roots as far back as the California Gold Rush. It’s also one of the last remaining breweries to produce “Steam Beer,” or California Common, which utilizes a special strain of lager yeast that allowed it to ferment without refrigeration. Their thick, amber-colored Anchor Steam—which debuted in 1896—is the brewery’s signature beer. On-site tours of their Potrero Hill property are just as popular so be sure to book early!.
