I have a lot of thoughts about Anchor, a LOT. I'll take a bit, i've not had any Anchor for probably a couple of years.... Not that i would have turned one down, but i never saw it, ... and for me, they don't ship.
I cannot blame Fritz for selling, that is how retirement works, and he sold it to a local group i think... then a BIG company threw a bunch of money at them, and well...
I sure hope nothing like this happens to Stone, but, like i've read elsewhere, the good news is that there is a lot of Great Beer that is local to semi local -Talking to you firestone and barrelhouse ...
I really hope someone will purchase Anchor. I have not seen Anchor in my local market in So Cal. One of my first go to craft beers. It is really sad to hear of its demise. But is the market over saturated? Is the craft beer market correcting itself?
I think you’re right, one of the factors is the market correcting itself, and there probably is more to come. But yeah, I don’t know how bankruptcy works in this case. Hopefully the name and brewery location can be picked up my someone else and that someone knows how to run something like an Anchor.

Here's hoping!
Yeah, when someone sells because they want to retire and they can't find a good buyer that is craft, I don't fault them for selling to big beer.
And yeah, we are definitely fine with the amount of choices we have, thankfully.
