Anchor Brewing Company

The Anchor Brewing Company is America’s first and oldest craft brewery, with roots dating back to the California gold rush.

At the beginning of our traditional brewing process, mashing consists of adding the malt to warm water and cooking it according to our formulas to continue the process of starch-to-sugar conversion that was begun at the malthouse.

MODERN TECHNIQUES FOR AN ANCIENT CRAFT

We know of no brewery in the world that matches our efforts to combine traditional, natural brewing with such carefully applied,
