Workers of Anchor Brewing have met, discussed, and decided to launch an effort to purchase the brewery and run it as a worker co-op!
How can I contribute?
There is some good precedent for this including Harpoon Brewery

Also Left Hand and New Belgium amoung a few others:
Better to support them than Inbev or Sapporo
Slick. I’d love to get a few bottles of the new stuff once it comes off the line.
I love this. I think someone in SF was interested in buying it and was finding other investors to join him. But I think letting the workers own it would be the best outcome.
There are several interested parties that have reached out to Saporro (current owner).

Super exciting for the workers and the brewery! I was really sad when I heard that they would be closing their doors after so long…really happy about these turn of events!
