As SF Beer Week comes to a conclusion, I find myself thinking back to the party hosted by Anchor Brewery last Wednesday night. I had the pleasure of attending this event in honor of Anchor's newest ale, Breckle's Brown, named after Gottlieb Breckle, the owner and brewmaster of Golden City Brewery, which later became Anchor Brewery.
Throughout the night, I was like a kid in a candy store. With a cheesy smile plastered on my face from ear-to-ear, I was able to celebrate this special brown ale with fellow beer bloggers and Anchor employees and guests. Although I didn't get to meet the guest of honor, Jane Cunningham, the great granddaughter of Gottlieb Breckle, I did get to meet many Anchor employees who had been with the brewery since Fritz Maytag purchased the brewery.
