Anchor Brewing Company, a beloved Bay Area staple in Potrero Hill, is making a last-ditch effort to find a buyer and avoid closure.
The company had been looking for potential buyers over the past year without success. However, following the announcement of the impending closure, several potential investors came forward expressing interest in the brewery.
Currently, about 24 individual investors have expressed interest in acquiring all or part of Anchor Brewing Company. Their names are being compiled and shared with the Assignee for the Benefit of Creditors, who is managing the liquidation process for the company, according to a company spokesperson.
Anchor Brewing has affirmed its commitment to continue serving beer until “the taps run dry” later this month. This situation underscores the value of local businesses to community identity and the importance of supporting such establishments. The outpouring of interest from potential investors is a testament to the brewery’s significance in the Bay Area.
