Liberty Ale IPA?
[edit]Elsewhere I see this beer characterized as an American style pale ale. I have to agree with this classification considering this beer's lack of emphasis on hop flavor. Anyone opposed?
- Hmmm. No opposition, although it is a steam beer, which is its own unique classification, no? Wikidemo 07:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
- Liberty Ale is not a steam beer, only Anchor Steam is. 208.29.184.143 (talk) 00:14, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
- True but the original Anchor Steam is the best darn beer I have ever tasted and still going strong in San Francisco.--Oxforduniversity1 (talk) 19:50, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

Tours at factory
[edit]I'm wondering if we should list the factory tours in the home page? Some people don't know anything about it. Would like to here some input.--Oxforduniversity1 (talk) 20:00, 13 August 2014 (UTC)

For potential edit — bought by Sapporo
[edit]Spacek, Rachel (August 3, 2017). "San Francisco's Anchor Brewing acquired by Sapporo". Los Angeles Times. Retrieved April 4, 2018.
“Anchor Brewing has been a San Francisco staple since 1896, surviving earthquakes, prohibition and tech booms and busts. But on Thursday, the brewer announced it will be a San Francisco company no longer after a sale to Japan's Sapporo Holdings Ltd. Exact terms of the deal were not disclosed, but a spokesman for Sapporo said the price was approximately $85 million. “The deal marks the latest California brewery to be acquired by a larger beer maker. It comes amid rising competition among craft breweries — a sector of the beer industry that Anchor has been credited, by some, for helping inspire.”
Sapporo Buyout Price
[edit]Can somebody help clarify what the buyout price for the acquisition by Sapporo was? Japan Times says $168 million, the San Diego Tribune says $165 million, but the article cited on the main page, The Drinks Business, says $85 million. The $168 million figure is also used on the Sapporo Breweries page. Maybe somebody more experienced than me in business news can help clarify. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Graxwell (talk • contribs) 17:19, 12 July 2023 (UTC)
- The first two articles are about Sapporo buying Stone Brewing, not Anchor Brewing. I don't know why there's a discrepancy between the two numbers, but the $85 million figure is the only one used for the Anchor sale, and as far as I can tell it's accurate.
