My tour of Anchor Stream Brewing

Recently took a tour of Anchor Stream Brewing with my wife and son. This is a great tour and a San Francisco institution. I highly recommend the visit and learning the history of is San Francisco brewery. You also get to try all the beers they are making at that time.
