What do the codes on the bottles mean?
The date code currently being used by Anchor Brewing Company
(post-October 1991) replaces the clock-face which used to show
the bottling month as one of 12 small notches around the main
label. A three character code is now included on the new back
label of the bottle. The code works like this:
The first character is always numeric and represents the last
digit of the year. The second character is always alpha and
represents the month by using the first letter in a month which
has not been previously used. Such as:
| January: J |
July:
L |
| February: F |
August: G |
| March: M |
September: S
|
| April: A |
October: 0 |
| May: Y |
November: N |
| June: U |
December: D |
The third character in the code is either alpha or numeric and
tells the day of the month. The first 26 days are represented
by the alphabet with the remaining days listed as:
| 27th through
29th = 7 through 9 |
| 30th = 3 |
| 31st = 1 |
"0" (zero) isn't used for the 30th because the labeler
makes its "Os" (letter 0) the same way it makes
its "0s" (zeros).
An example would be: January 20, 2002 = 2JT

Will you donate/sponsor my event/club/group?
Some time ago, we realized that we would need to draw guidelines
regarding donation requests and sponsorships. We receive many
requests from worthwhile groups and can only comfortably sponsor
events in which employees here at the brewery have personal
involvement. We are still a fairly small company and are therefore
not able to do any more than this. We hope you will understand
the limits of a company the size of Anchor.

Do you have any employment opportunities
available?
We do not anticipate any openings at this brewery in the near
future. You may check the Employment
section of this site from time to time as any opportunities
will be posted there.

Do you have any internship opportunities
available?
Unfortunately, No. We have only 50 employees and do not have
the facilities to accommodate an intern.

I have a marketing/advertising
idea for Anchor Brewing. Do you work with ad agencies?
We have always relied on word-of-mouth to sell our beers,
and we do not foresee a time when we will promote our brands
otherwise.
Anchor Brewing has continued to grow slowly and steadily
year to year — which has always been our goal. We do
not wish to expand our production too quickly, as we take
pride in being a small brewery and in brewing quality beers.
In order for us to maintain our integrity, we elect to keep
our production within certain limits.

Can I distribute your products?
At this time, we have no immediate plans to expand our distribution
during the upcoming year.
Our beers are currently available
in all fifty of the United States, the District of Columbia,
and a number of foreign countries. Our aim is to slowly expand
our marketing area, usually a few markets each year. We are
sure you can understand that a small brewery of specialty
products is limited in the distribution that it can achieve.
In addition, we require all of our distributors, national
and international, to refrigerate our products during transport
from the brewery to the warehouse. It is a very important
consideration; many distributors find this to be either impossible
or too expensive for them. As a result, this requirement has
limited our choice of distributors.
