From Spirits to Beer

Mark Brown’s newsletter reported today that Tony Foglio and Keith Greggor are the new owners of Anchor Brewing Company, which includes its portfolio of craft beers and artisan spirits, including the well-known Anchor Steam Beer.

In addition to wishing Tony and Keith well, I think it’s great for the spirits industry. Like many, I believe that craft (or artisan) spirits will grow in importance in the spirits world with lots to learn from craft beer.

I’m happy to know that mainstream players are on the case.

Even if they’re not ex-Seagram folks.
