Japanese brewing giant Sapporo — which acquired Anchor, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11969212/how-san-franciscos-anchor-brewing-started-the-craft-beer-craze\">the nation’s first craft brewery\u003c/a>, in 2017 — shut it down in the summer, leaving fans hurting and a handful of unionized employees motivated to bring it back.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, Anchor fans flocked to San Francisco’s BuzzWorks sports bar, just a five-minute drive from the recently closed brewery. They came to drink the last of the bar’s Anchor Steam beer kegs and to bid on the 11 Christmas Ale magnum-sized bottles the bar had stockpiled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To beer fanatics Noel Hansen and Andy Beresford, the holidays aren’t the holidays without Anchor Christmas Ale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My cousin would be bringing the turkey in a cooler full of ice water, and he’d have the magnum next to it. Chilling. That’s the tradition, you know, in an igloo cooler out on the patio,” Hansen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beresford flew in from Scottsdale, Arizona, to try to score some Christmas Ale at the SF BuzzWorks event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some former Anchor workers were also in attendance, passing out flyers to inform people of the \u003ca href=\"https://anchorcooperative.com/\">Anchor SF Cooperative\u003c/a> — a group of five previous workers vying to bring back the beer they once brewed now that the 127-year-old company’s assets are up for auction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Patrick Machel, Anchor SF Cooperative board chair\"]‘We’re so tied in with what the history of San Francisco is.

By September, a team of former brewers, production workers and bartenders assembled the Anchor SF Cooperative with the mission of keeping the beer brewed in the city by an employee-owned company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anchor’s employees have a history of banding together. In 2019, Anchor employees \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2019/12/breaking-anchor-brewery-workers-overwhelmingly-approve-first-union-contract/\">became the first unionized craft brewing company in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new co-op \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/rbx7b-help-workers-save-anchor-brewing\">started a GoFundMe\u003c/a> on Sept. 1 to help pay for legal services and employee business ownership counseling — and they surpassed their $50,000 campaign goal by more than double.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Patrick Machel, board chair of the Anchor SF Cooperative and former beer packaging lead, Anchor is much more than a brewery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anchor Steam, at this point in time, is a San Francisco institution,” he said. “We’re so tied in with what the history of San Francisco is.

As California’s first co-op brewery, Umunhum Brewing in San Jose encountered some of these challenges, which Anchor and any other brewers looking to operate as a co-op are likely to face.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Umunhum Brewing Board President Travis Alexander said brewing cooperatives can be challenging due to the communal nature of ownership. When applying for licenses to make and distribute alcohol, California’s Alcoholic Beverage Control board requires a list of people who have more than 10% ownership in a company. In the Umunhum cooperative, there are over 500 members who have an equal share.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are different from what everyone else is doing, and so we have to get the approval from agencies who are saying, ‘Why don’t you look like everything else coming through?’ ” Alexander said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alexander notes that cooperatives can take different approaches to funding. Umunhum started out by offering anyone in the state of California a lifetime membership for $150.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A member-ownership model funds most cooperatives. Sacramento brewery New Helvetia Brewing Company \u003ca href=\"https://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2023/11/29/new-helvetia-brewing-cooperative-ownership.html\">is also fighting to stay alive by switching to an employee-owned model\u003c/a>. According to their \u003ca href=\"https://www.newhelvetiabrew.com/coopmembership\">website\u003c/a>, a $300 membership fee includes becoming a legal part-owner of the brewery, as well as product discounts and decision-making power about the brewery’s future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Anchor’s cooperative’s effort to get off the ground is a unique case due to the additional burden of needing to bid on the company’s assets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Umunhum, Alexander said Anchor does not have the luxury of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ve got a time constraint, first of all. If they don’t act quickly enough, they lose the opportunity. They can’t do our method,” Alexander said. “But also because they have the expertise and all the tools they need, I think the method they’re doing is the right approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘It’s all about the bidding process’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The cooperative \u003ca href=\"https://wefunder.com/anchorsf/\">launched a crowdfunding effort on Wefunder on Nov. 17\u003c/a>. Investments begin at a minimum of $250, which gives an investor a stock certificate of ownership. The plan is to start by leveraging those funds to buy Anchor’s intellectual property, which includes recipes and trademarks, with the goal of eventually securing a lease in San Francisco at either the old De Haro Street brewery location or elsewhere and to begin brewing again in early 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Machel calls this phase “testing the waters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Essentially, it’s opening [funding] up to everybody, seeing how much we can get and if there’s a viable path this way,” he said. “With this phase, there’s a lot more legal language around it because we’re dealing with bigger securities, big investments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Machel said the cooperative hopes to raise a minimum of $2.5 million — but ideally, they hope to get the Wefunder maximum of $5 million. They see this as the best strategy forward if they want to keep the beer brewed in the city where it was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11969212]If the cooperative successfully obtains the IP, they would be the only ones able to brew Anchor beer recipes, potentially attracting investors who could support their plan to continue brewing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That said, intellectual property lawyer and patent law professor at the University of San Francisco Michael Dergosits said most cases like this come down to money and that the background interest of bidders is generally irrelevant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s all about the bidding process,” Derogsits said. “And the company who is responsible for selling the assets probably has some fiduciary obligation to Sapporo to get the best price for as much as possible for as many of the assets as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sapporo tasked financial services company Hilco Global to handle asset liquidation and the private bidding process on Anchor’s intellectual property, real estate and brewing equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cooperative and other potential bidders are unclear on the timeline of negotiations. A Sapporo spokesperson said that discussions on how assets should be divided up would happen this month and could run into the new year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the cooperative only intends to begin by bidding on the IP, Machel believes their experience incentivizes potential partnerships with other buyers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have the knowledge and the people that understand those machines more than anybody else would,” he said. “This isn’t a normal brewery. You can’t just hire a packager or a brewer or whoever and just expect them to go in and it be turnkey.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11970132\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11970132\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/230714-AnchorBrewing-12-BL-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/230714-AnchorBrewing-12-BL-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/230714-AnchorBrewing-12-BL-qut-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/230714-AnchorBrewing-12-BL-qut-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/230714-AnchorBrewing-12-BL-qut-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/230714-AnchorBrewing-12-BL-qut-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A worker checks the fermentation tanks at Anchor Public Taps in San Francisco on July 14, 2023.

They came to drink the last of the bar’s Anchor Steam beer kegs and to bid on the 11 Christmas Ale magnum-sized bottles the bar had stockpiled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To beer fanatics Noel Hansen and Andy Beresford, the holidays aren’t the holidays without Anchor Christmas Ale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My cousin would be bringing the turkey in a cooler full of ice water, and he’d have the magnum next to it. Chilling. That’s the tradition, you know, in an igloo cooler out on the patio,” Hansen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beresford flew in from Scottsdale, Arizona, to try to score some Christmas Ale at the SF BuzzWorks event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some former Anchor workers were also in attendance, passing out flyers to inform people of the \u003ca href=\"https://anchorcooperative.com/\">Anchor SF Cooperative\u003c/a> — a group of five previous workers vying to bring back the beer they once brewed now that the 127-year-old company’s assets are up for auction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

By September, a team of former brewers, production workers and bartenders assembled the Anchor SF Cooperative with the mission of keeping the beer brewed in the city by an employee-owned company.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anchor’s employees have a history of banding together. In 2019, Anchor employees \u003ca href=\"https://missionlocal.org/2019/12/breaking-anchor-brewery-workers-overwhelmingly-approve-first-union-contract/\">became the first unionized craft brewing company in California\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new co-op \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/rbx7b-help-workers-save-anchor-brewing\">started a GoFundMe\u003c/a> on Sept. 1 to help pay for legal services and employee business ownership counseling — and they surpassed their $50,000 campaign goal by more than double.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Patrick Machel, board chair of the Anchor SF Cooperative and former beer packaging lead, Anchor is much more than a brewery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Anchor Steam, at this point in time, is a San Francisco institution,” he said. “We’re so tied in with what the history of San Francisco is.

When applying for licenses to make and distribute alcohol, California’s Alcoholic Beverage Control board requires a list of people who have more than 10% ownership in a company. In the Umunhum cooperative, there are over 500 members who have an equal share.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are different from what everyone else is doing, and so we have to get the approval from agencies who are saying, ‘Why don’t you look like everything else coming through?’ ” Alexander said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Umunhum started out by offering anyone in the state of California a lifetime membership for $150.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A member-ownership model funds most cooperatives. Sacramento brewery New Helvetia Brewing Company \u003ca href=\"https://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2023/11/29/new-helvetia-brewing-cooperative-ownership.html\">is also fighting to stay alive by switching to an employee-owned model\u003c/a>. According to their \u003ca href=\"https://www.newhelvetiabrew.com/coopmembership\">website\u003c/a>, a $300 membership fee includes becoming a legal part-owner of the brewery, as well as product discounts and decision-making power about the brewery’s future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Anchor’s cooperative’s effort to get off the ground is a unique case due to the additional burden of needing to bid on the company’s assets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike Umunhum, Alexander said Anchor does not have the luxury of time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’ve got a time constraint, first of all. If they don’t act quickly enough, they lose the opportunity. They can’t do our method,” Alexander said. “But also because they have the expertise and all the tools they need, I think the method they’re doing is the right approach.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘It’s all about the bidding process’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The cooperative \u003ca href=\"https://wefunder.com/anchorsf/\">launched a crowdfunding effort on Wefunder on Nov. 17\u003c/a>. Investments begin at a minimum of $250, which gives an investor a stock certificate of ownership. The plan is to start by leveraging those funds to buy Anchor’s intellectual property, which includes recipes and trademarks, with the goal of eventually securing a lease in San Francisco at either the old De Haro Street brewery location or elsewhere and to begin brewing again in early 2024.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Machel calls this phase “testing the waters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Essentially, it’s opening [funding] up to everybody, seeing how much we can get and if there’s a viable path this way,” he said. “With this phase, there’s a lot more legal language around it because we’re dealing with bigger securities, big investments.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Machel said the cooperative hopes to raise a minimum of $2.5 million — but ideally, they hope to get the Wefunder maximum of $5 million. They see this as the best strategy forward if they want to keep the beer brewed in the city where it was born.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Tenants pay to rent space in the 78-unit park.

However, after Brown received a potential closure letter from the park’s owners in July, a month after Petaluma’s city council began discussing whether to adopt \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/petalumas-mobile-home-reform-fight-is-about-a-lot-more-than-rent-control/\">rent control\u003c/a>, that sense of stability was shaken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to my room, I sat down, I read [the letter] and I read it again. I was just blown away,” said Brown. “I read it a third time. My mind wasn’t wrapping around it. In that moment, I just felt broken.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter specifically mentioned that property owners are unsure if they can continue running the park with measures taken by local and state governments. Littlewoods Villa is owned by the Ubaldi Family, which also owns Carriage Court in Santa Rosa. The park is managed by Harmony Communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown is a former delivery truck driver who spent most of his life transporting grapes from Sonoma County wineries, until a bad back injury a few years ago. Now he’s on disability and relies on a fixed income.

After an initial meeting with park management, he and a few others realized they were stronger together.

However, after Brown received a potential closure letter from the park’s owners in July, a month after Petaluma’s city council began discussing whether to adopt \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/petalumas-mobile-home-reform-fight-is-about-a-lot-more-than-rent-control/\">rent control\u003c/a>, that sense of stability was shaken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I went to my room, I sat down, I read [the letter] and I read it again. I was just blown away,” said Brown. “I read it a third time. My mind wasn’t wrapping around it. In that moment, I just felt broken.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The letter specifically mentioned that property owners are unsure if they can continue running the park with measures taken by local and state governments. Littlewoods Villa is owned by the Ubaldi Family, which also owns Carriage Court in Santa Rosa. The park is managed by Harmony Communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown is a former delivery truck driver who spent most of his life transporting grapes from Sonoma County wineries, until a bad back injury a few years ago. Now he’s on disability and relies on a fixed income. The rent at the park has allowed him to stay at Littlewoods Villa, in the two-bedroom, metallic mobile home he shares with his roommate Donna Dillard and their two little dogs, Sergei and Becky Woo Woo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11959849\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/RS68497_20230829-Littlewoods-25-JY-KQED.jpg\">\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11959849\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/RS68497_20230829-Littlewoods-25-JY-KQED-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"A person in a baseball cap stands in front of a mobile home looking into the camera.\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/RS68497_20230829-Littlewoods-25-JY-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/RS68497_20230829-Littlewoods-25-JY-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/RS68497_20230829-Littlewoods-25-JY-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/RS68497_20230829-Littlewoods-25-JY-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/RS68497_20230829-Littlewoods-25-JY-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/RS68497_20230829-Littlewoods-25-JY-KQED.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Christopher Brown poses for a portrait in front of his mobile home at Littlewoods Mobile Villa in Petaluma, Sonoma County, on Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2023.

On March 27, the student was attacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a teacher, I want to protect my students, and I tried to do just that,” Buhn said at the board meeting. “As teachers collectively, we feel desperation to address this. I asked in my email last night if we had learned anything from the tragedy that had just happened. In light of this incident, I feel we have not learned enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘I’m not hearing students root for SROs’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa students district-wide share a similar sentiment, and in their \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/11VOsXzwV5U-ivt1ebuWXftIXBcg7aWDc1HPs578vTXY/edit?pli=1\">list of demands\u003c/a> say their district has failed them.

On March 27, the student was attacked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a teacher, I want to protect my students, and I tried to do just that,” Buhn said at the board meeting. “As teachers collectively, we feel desperation to address this. I asked in my email last night if we had learned anything from the tragedy that had just happened. In light of this incident, I feel we have not learned enough.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘I’m not hearing students root for SROs’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Santa Rosa students district-wide share a similar sentiment, and in their \u003ca href=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/11VOsXzwV5U-ivt1ebuWXftIXBcg7aWDc1HPs578vTXY/edit?pli=1\">list of demands\u003c/a> say their district has failed them.
