Anchor in Cargo

The Yard is a pop-up food and retail village constructed of repurposed shipping containers that will include an Anchor Steam beer garden. You could call it an appetizer before they open their second brewing facility nearby.

Oh how L.A. could use a few pop-up / creative / non-traditional taprooms around town like the Yard at Mission Rock in San Francisco. Maybe one of the (possible, maybe) new NFL teams in Inglewood or Carson could take a page out of the San Francisco Giants playbook.

Or find a central location near a Metro stop and have a rotating L.A. County Brewers Guild member pouring alongside a food truck specifically chosen to pair with the food. If I am tossing out maybes, the updated Union Station might be a great spot to do it.

And a little more Anchor news: According to the brewery, the future “facility will quadruple Anchor’s annual brewing capacity and feature production facilities for brewing, distilling, packaging, storing, and shipping; and a restaurant, museum and educational facility in the headhouse of Pier 48.”
