"You may have seen a social media post or Google News link this week claiming that the famed SF-based craft beer manufacturer Anchor Brewing Co was moving out of San Francisco. And if that were true, it would be a terrible heartbreaker, after billionaire Chobani yogurt founder Hamdi Ulukaya bought the brewery and brand in May 2024, following the previous owners Sapporo Holdings declared Anchor Brewing bankrupt and tried to liquidate the company."
"The false report about Anchor Brewing comes from a craft beer publication called American Craft Beer. According to recent comments made by Ulukaya's team to , they have no intention of reopening the original brewery or reestablishing a physical taproom in the city at least for now, that publication erroneously reported. Instead, Anchor beer will be brewed by a contract partner San Francisco."
Anchor Brewing is not leaving San Francisco and ownership intends to eventually reopen the original Potrero Hill brewery. The brewery and brand were purchased by Hamdi Ulukaya in May 2024 after Sapporo Holdings declared Anchor bankrupt and sought liquidation. A false claim circulated that Anchor would relocate and that the Potrero Hill facility would remain closed; those claims are incorrect. Anchor's owner confirmed that the brand will remain based in San Francisco and plans include reopening the original brewery in the future. Production will temporarily involve a contract brewing partner while the Potrero Hill site remains closed.
