Chobani Founder Acquires Anchor Brewing, Plans Revival

Hamdi Ulukaya aims to restore San Francisco's historic brewery, bringing back original labels and rehiring former employees.

Local brewers and former employees are relieved the brewery will remain in San Francisco.
Ulukaya, with no prior beer industry experience, intends to maintain Anchor's traditional branding.
The purchase price remains undisclosed, but Ulukaya's bid outpaced other interested buyers.
Plans include reopening the brewery and potentially releasing the famed Christmas Ale by year-end.
Ulukaya's vision includes keeping Anchor's operations local and enhancing its community connection.
