The team behind Narragansett Beer isn’t giving up on Anchor Brewing Company just yet. The Rhode Island-based brewery launched a Change.org petition on July 14 to prevent the closure of the California business. Anchor, which was acquired by Sapporo USA in 2017, recently announced that it will cease operations and liquidate the business.
At the time of this story’s publication, the petition has over 4,000 signatures. Its organizers say they’re seeking to preserve the 152-year-old San Francisco institution, which is widely considered to be the country’s first craft brewery.
