Unionized workers at Anchor Brewing Company, the oldest craft brewer in the United States, want to buy the 127-year-old company and run it as a co-op to save it from shutting down, a union official said. The workers have “decided to launch an effort to purchase the brewery and run it as a worker co-op,” according to a proposal letter from the Anchor employees. Pedro de Sá, the business agent at International Longshore and Warehouse Union Local 6, whose members include workers at Anchor, sent the proposal on Wednesday to Mike Minami, the president of Sapporo USA, which owns the company. “All we want is a fair shot at being able to continue to do our jobs, make the beer we love, and keep this historic institution open,” the letter said. “We do not want the brewery and brand we love to be sold off before we even had a chance.”

Workers are reportedly offering to buy San Francisco's Anchor Brewing Co. and manage it themselves. Anchor, owned by Japanese beer giant Sapporo, announced this month that it would shutter. Anchor and Sapporo did not immediately respond to requests for comment on the letter or the closing from Insider. The Anchor workers aren't the only ones interested in buying and preserving the brand. Sapporo touted Anchor's "strong brand power" and potential for growth in a statement explaining its acquisition of the brewery in 2017.
