When they bought an existing brewery and named it anchor. The steamed beer derives from the 19th century when steam was a nickname for beer brewed on the west coast of american under conditions without ice. Anchor brewing as a company survived tragedy with the owners, the 1906 earthquake and fire, prohibition, and changing tastes regarding beer in the 1950s and 60s. In 1965, fritz maytag took over the business and anchor began producing new, distinctive beers. Though the terms micro brewing and craft brewing had yet to be coined, they were leading a brewing revolution in San Francisco that would eventually spread across the country. After 45 years, he sold the business to keith and tony and in 2017, anchor Brewing Company was purchased by spaporo. On march 13 of this year, workers voted to unionize. With all legacy business applications, any news woreshy items from the path, present, and foreseeable feature are addressed in the application. We included an article from the San Francisco chronicle about the unionizing effort and a statement from anchor Brewing Company which reads as follows. Our employees vote and march 13 to unionize, marking a major milestone for our brewery. Our priority was to ensure that all our employees were given the opportunity to vote in a secret ballot election. We fully respect the results of the vote and are committed to negotiating in good faith with the newly formed union. We look forward to strengthening our collective future with all of our employees. Through the legacy application process, office of Small Business staff has determined that anchor Brewing Company does meet all three business Eligibility Criteria to qualify for listing on the legacy business registry.

I am happy to answer any questions and there are business representatives in attendance who would like to speak on bhaft of the applications. Great. Thank you, richard. Do you want to go right into Public Comment . Okay. And we have supervisor fewer here today. So were going to let her lead this off today. Public comment. And i first want to say before you speak that how much i appreciate what you have done for this program. I mean, its awesome because we never heard from the Richmond District. And now were hearing about all these great businesses coming out of the Richmond District. And you come and you present. And i just think thats great and wonderful and i want to publicly thank you for everything you have done with this program especially out in your district. Likewise. I wish we had the same enthusiasm and response from other supervisors. Thank you very much. I will say that every legacy business that you have anointed as to be part of the this program is so deeply appreciative, but they also feel a deep sense of gratitude and recognition having this. I have lived in the Richmond District since i was two years old. And so i know many of the businesses personally and they are the backbone of my neighborhood and while i am supervisor, it is something you will see me in front of you many more times because there are many more Small Businesses that deserve recognition, but today i am so pleased to present to you the favorite little watering hole in the Outer Richmond, the hockey haven. For over 70 years this, small little bar in this sleepy area of the Richmond District has been Gathering Community with people drowning their sorrows, toasting celebrations, holding memorials, and just Building Community over sometimes beer and sometimes something a little stronger. I want to say this Small Business, you might drive by it on balboa, but those people lived in the Richmond District see it as their place. It is not fancy. It is not surveying 15 crushed or whatever they call it, mushed, whatever, cocktails. It is a place where friends gather and everyone is welcome. I know personally my husband was raised on first avenue and on Christmas Eve after the big Family Gathering of aunlt aunts and uncles and grandparents and children, that the guys, the six brother, would go down or five brothers would go down to the hockey haven for a drink and to say, glad that one is over. I think the hockey haven represents what my district is. We are a little down home and we are not fancy, but we are honest people out there and go in ant get an honest drink and have a conversation with a friend or meet a new friend. Which is privately owned with a woman owner and i think that that is what i would love to replicate in my neighborhood. I how about so honored again this small watering hole on outer balboa, the hockey haven, the gem of my neighborhood. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker please. Derek ramsey from supervisor Browns Office. Wow, hard to follow that. This is the favorite part of my job coming nor commission and talking about legacy businesses. My credentials are in history, and i have a great love of the history of the city. And today i am here to speak about comix experience which is in particular important to me and is a project that i really worked hard with supervisor brown to nominate. Comix experience opened five months before i moved to what is today called no pa. And back then it was the western edition. And now we have new neighborhoods like divisedaro heights and it is exciting to see an organization that ironically opened on april fools day in 1989. 30 years lawsuiter, still be around. Serving the city and comix books has books for adults and children in the store and also book clubs when sfufd schools and are working to further literacy and make reading fun again. Wait, never mind. We dont want to use again on anything. So today, 30 years later, brian and his family are running really fantastic neighborhood business that everyone in the neighborhood whether they are comic book fans or not, they still go in there and check it out. And some will find they rediscover comic books from when they were kids. And rediscover there is all kinds of new comics that we never thought of when we were reading archie or casper. So i really hope that you consider this and push through the legacy status for comix experience. They are a True Community partner and supervisor brown is honored and proud to nominate them. Thank you. Percy bertch from supervisor waltons office. Welcome. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. The district 10 office did not support this application for anchor Brewing Company. We have a protocol in place that we wish that all legacy businesses would respect, and we request that all legacy businesses in district 10 applicants go through our process. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. I have rick bellamy from hockey haven followed by bill powers, followed by massoud. Hi there. Welcome. I am a Union Station agent with the local 16 and in town and i wanted to talk about the hockey haven and how much to me its a Family Business. I have noticed that its been a Family Business i guess the whole time. One family or another. And they have taken me as part of their family. I wanted to come up here and talk a little bit about how much it means to me. I am going to read an article dated wednesday, october 16, 1985. A hurricane article and is titled three dot journalism is out, but i am going to the second paragraph. As i jam and the brakes to avoid hitting a jaywalker on sixth street who was at least seven months pregnant, there is someone who could use a baby on board sticker. This being pedestrian, i must add that this was a woman. Lots of angry male, dot, dot, dot, from mothers barking at me about and about me for needling those baby on board signs. Consensus, its too keep all the tailgaters away. I am all for that. Lets all get those stickers do, dot, dot, dot. Hockey haven t hockey pub has cut a tellers window into the streetside wall so bartender cans sell lottery tickets to passersby, especially, lol, little ladies, who do not wish to enter the gin joint. I just wanted to point out that if something was written by hurricane, put in the chronicle, is printed, i think that it was typically San Francisco. I wanted to point that out there. Say that he spent the time to actually write about it. Also, for me this business is my living room. Its where i go after work and tal
