SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Beer lovers are flocking to Anchor Brewing Co.’s tap room to mourn the loss of the iconic brewer and buy some of its last beers. The company’s tap room opened Thursday, the day after it announced it planned to shut down. The company has stopped brewing and will continue packaging and distributing the beer on hand while available or through around the end of the month. Anchor was founded in San Francisco in 1896 and faced insolvency in the 1960s when a new owner turned it around.
