Anchor Brewing Company (historic Potrero Hill facility)

Anchor Brewing operated for decades at 1705 Mariposa Street in the Potrero Hill/Dogpatch area; Fritz Maytag purchased the brewery in 1965 and helped popularize Anchor Steam Beer, a brand tied to the rise of the American craft beer movement. The Mariposa facility produced brewery-only and small-batch releases and historically offered tours and a taproom that drew local patrons. Ownership and brewing location have changed in recent years, but the 1705 Mariposa address is historically associated with Anchor's long presence in San Francisco.
