Good article in Slate today (it looks like they're doing a series). I'm pretty sure much of this applies to Canada as well.

Anchor Brewing of San Francisco is shutting down.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/an ... -rcna93902

They produced two of the beers that got me away from macros - Anchor Steam & Liberty Ale. Just last week when walking around TBS looking for something different I was thinking about how long it had been since seeing their beers.

The brewery had been around since the late 19th century. Jack London, the author, was an Anchor Steam drinker.
