In many ways this is shocking but also not surprising. Many underperforming breweries are closing. It’s tough for the workers. Multinational conglomerates can suck an old sock, though.
Anchor Steam was definitely a gateway beer for me, and then I enjoyed Old Foghorn when I could find it, and many large format Christmas Ale’s made it into my fridge.
Good bye, old friend.
EEE is hitting some great breweries. So sad to see.
