Anchor Brewing's San Francisco Calendar features twelve unique images together in print for the first time, in celebration of the New Year and of our city's phenomenal transformation from a small village in 1842 to a thriving metropolis just thirty-six years later. Handsomely reproduced on acid-free archival paper.
