After building a 100-year legacy and establishing itself as the ‘Grandfather of American craft brewing’, Anchor Brewing Co shut down earlier this year and one Maltese bar is keeping the dream alive, serving some of the last few cases.
Valletta bar Sailors Paradise is considered a time machine into Strada Stretta’s days of old, with visitors coming from all across to world being taken on a journey through time.
Offering a rich, curated selection of food and drinks, Sailors Paradise recently announced that they have procured a few of Anchor Brewing’s last cases, which are currently on offer until stocks last.
Anchor Brewing started in San Francisco in 1896, and was the US’s first and oldest craft brewery, shutting down earlier this year after falling victim to an increasingly competitive market, declining sales and inflation.
“You know that old saying about a band who only had maybe 50 people at its first show… but every one of those people went and started a band? That was Anchor Brewing Company. And all their people were the best”, Anchor Brewing brewmaster Garrett Oliver told The Guardian in a recent interview.
