The obvious follow up is I think they must not have kept up with the times

I’d guess bottles are the majority of the business and I think that product is inferior

I don’t know what the other breweries do, maybe it’s just freshness and inventory, or a better or more consistent bottling

I should also add that I lived in SF, so it’s definitely possible that most customers out of city think of them as a bad bottled beer brand, whereas I had a different impression

Other breweries do cans. Easier. Cheaper. Tastes better. Keeps the art fresh.

Canning has significant upfront costs that mean that for small operations it's not easier or cheaper. At the scale of Anchor, it's viable, but does require a significant investment in retooling.
