Americans.
America's oldest craft brewer Anchor brewing is closing
its doors after 127 years in business.
The brewer cites a combination of
challenging economic factors and declining sales.
Adding to the challenges employees have voiced concerns
about alleged mismanagement and a lack of understanding
of craft beer by
Sapporo. That's the Japanese beer company that acquired Anchor in 2017.
The closure affects 61 employees who will
receive transition support and separation packages.
Brewing has already ceased but existing beer inventory
will be sold through the end of July.
