Can the employees buy it and make it a co-op

Too much crime in san Francisco. customers scared to go there.

I’d almost say this is a sad story, but you got in bed with an admitted full blown Marxist and then got a first hand lesson in how socialism really works, you lost your jobs and the guy your followed to your Doom is making bank and has already forgotten about you. Now think about that regarding the United States as a whole. You follow people like Bernie and AOC (killed 10s of thousands of jobs in NYC) and this will continue to happen.

Sapporo would probably want way too much. Best chance is if a privately/family owned entity purchased it, like sierra nevada.

The woman with 21th is using this news interview to promote her brewery. It is all about herself. She reminds me of Janice Soprano.

KPIX, they seem like good people, but really I don't want to hear about how great 21st Amendment is doing today. Thanks.

From what I gather, they were already in financial trouble years ago and the events of 2020 just compounded matters. Operating costs are very high in SF, which makes matters worse.

So proud of Mayor Breed for this accomplishment

Sapporo can cite whatever, but they didnt have a problem buying Stone Brewery. They probably didnt like that the employees at anchor led to unionize.

Crazy that 21ft amendment brewery can survive and anchor can’t. 21st amendment beer is absolutely awful. 🤢

If InBev bought it they could save some face
