In this episode you'll learn how Sapporo U.S.A. scuttled THE American flagship craft beer, Anchor Brewing Company.
Small in volume but huge in influence, history and affection, Anchor was the first American #craftbeer. It has a storied past and global fanatics but it is to close following years of declining sales and serious missteps. But David Infante explores the key question: did incompetency or conspiracy weigh #Anchor down?
