Anchor Steam's Potrero Commons Ale beer bottle LABEL 6/26/1990 1-time release

Description: This was brewed in one small batch to celebrate Potrero Hill, the neighborhood where Anchor (used to) brew.... Neck Label reads: "This unique Brown Ale was brewed at the Anchor Brewery on Potrero Hill with the help of many neighbors. It will be sold to raise money for the purchase of a public green space or "commons" on our hill. Villiagers in Medieval England often brewed such Ales together, to raise money for village projects and to promite a festive spirit of neigborly cooperation. I was told that they gathered flowers and ambient yeast the neighborhood and brewed from it. Quite a risky proposition for a brewery (in terms of quality control for their flagship brand), but hey, Fritz rolled the dice a number of times. I was fortunate enough to get this from a brewery employee who was there at the time. You would be hard pressed to find another eBay or other seller who would let this go now, but I've had my fun with it, so it's time for someone else to enjoy it and its history. It's in great shape and was never used or applied to a bottle. Dated 6/26/1990 on the label, as you can see. With the news that the Brewery is out of business, it's really sad that this 127 year old brewery has closed its doors for good. I've had this inside my home in a dry, dark display area and the colors and condition are like when I bought it years ago. *I'm selling other Anchor bottles and other Anchor memorabilia/breweriana (including the Our Special Ale/Christmas Ale, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year") and I do combine shipping.
