West Coast blogging - Day 13
Just a few shots from our Anchor Steam tour yesterday.
Back in 1965, Fritz Maytag, a scion of the Maytag appliance family, bought a failing local brewery in town for, what our tour guide described as, "the price of a used car." The Anchor Steam Brewing Company is one of the models for all those who attempt to make a livelihood out of brewing craft beers. The single brewery is located at DeHaro and Mariposa Streets, in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco.
Later today, it's back to the East Bay for a final visit with some old friends, before a 4 am wakeup call for our light back east. Monday i get to go to Richmond to be on a blogging panel at the International City and County Managers Association annual conference, so probably ne new posts before Monday night or Tuesday morning. Maybe we'll have a nationalized banking system by then.

Since 1949, Durhamites have slept soundly, secure in the knowledge that, in our town, erection can be depended upon. Now, thanks to the power of the internets, we can spread that security all over the world.
