We signed up for this tour because we had heard it was so good. You have to call ahead for reservations because they have a waiting list of 2-3 months. This was well worth the wait. The factory is located in an interesting downtown neighborhood in San Francisco. We walked around the neighborhood while we were waiting on our tour....

Owner description:
Public tours of the Anchor Brewery are available each weekday, free of charge, by reservation only. The walking tour of the brewery lasts about 40-45 minutes. Your tour guide will give you a brief history of Anchor Brewing and walk you through three floors of our facility. Children are welcome to come on the tour, but of course may not taste the beer during our tasting session that follows the walking tour. You may have up to ten in your party, depending on the availability of space. Altogether, the tour and the tasting last for about 2 hours, and tastings are only available to those who take the tour.

Fun tour, friendly and knowledgeable guide, perfect-sized brewery, eight delicious beer samples at the conclusion of the tour. Why not? :) Book early!

I was so surprised when I read on the website that there is a waiting list at times to get in this place for a tour. Well, after going on the tour I can completely understand why. and to think that I wasn't going to fit this tour in my vacation planning!
Anchor Steam has a great touring experience. They...

The tour was exactly the right length of time and very informative. Best of all, it's free and a decent amount of beer is offered to taste. What more could you ask for. The guide was entertaining and was extremely friendly. Yes you have to book in advance and its a 20 minute bus ride from downtown however these are...

This was a terrific tour during our recent trip to San Francisco. We do like beer, a lot, but this was informative, CLEAN, witty & delicious. Great history here and a great beer. Make sure to reserve months in advance as we were told they fill up fast. FREE tour with very generous tastings. I'm a fan of ANCHOR now!

Apparently, they only do one tour a day, and its by reservation only. I am used to places like Sam Adams and brewpubs, where they want people to swing in. Apparently, Anchor does not. They make it a dog and pony show to even buy merchandise, and the tap room is only for their one tour.

This was definitely worth the visit. We were able to see every part of the operation and then taste all the beers they had on tap. My only complaint was that the tour guide talked so fast I could only understand about 60% of what he said, but the beer was good, so what the heck. If you are not...

The Anchor Brewing Company tour is an intimate affair that you need to make prior reservations for (visit the website for details). The small group is led on a 45 minute tour of the cleanest brewery that I have ever toured. The tour ends with a 45 minute beer tasting session in their tap room. You are able to sample...
