Anchor Steam Brewery Tour

Last week Swivel ventured to the Anchor Steam Brewery for a tour and a little tasting. It was a nice break to get out of the office for the day.  Even though we were away from our desks, we couldn't help but soak up all the data tidbits Anchor Steam had to offer.

We learned that Anchor Steam likes to keep it local.  They brew and bottle all their beer in one San Francisco location.  They only use SF Municipal tap water and they ferment their beer at 60 degrees Fahrenheit, which is also the average temperature of the city by the bay.

The brewery's signature beer, Anchor Steam, makes up 70 percent of their sales, while their other six brews make up the remaining 30 percent.

And, being the data nerds that we are, here is a graph of the alcohol content in each kind of Anchor Steam brew.  Old Foghorn packs 8 to 10 percent. Woohoo.
