Anchor Christmas Party 2006
Last night Anchor Brewery held their annual invitation only Christmas party. As usual, it was a great time with good friends, good food and, of course, great beer. While the potato wedges were the most welcome addition to the evening’s food, the best combination was an all-meat chili made with Anchor Steam beer to which I added crumbled Maytag Blue Cheese and paired with Old Foghorn Barleywine Style Ale.
The leading lights at Anchor: Fritz Maytag, John Dannerbeck and Mark Carpenter.

Caught enjoying the yummy frittes.
R.J. Trent, former brewer, who just opened the newest BevMo on Van Ness Boulevard and Jeremy Cowan of He’Brew, whose newest beers lately have been wonderful, especially the 10 Monumental Jewbelation and Bittersweet Lenny’s R.I.P.A. (a rye-based Imperial IPA).
Sounds like a great time was had by all. Those fries [translation = chips] make my mouth water. I was looking for an email address as I was wondering if you’d heard from your pal ‘Autism isn’t my son’s Name’ as she’s been a bit quiet. Still it is a very busy time of year.
Best wishes
