So the big news has been out for a bit now, but we were on hand to take the press shots of Fritz Maytag, Keith Greggor and Tony Foglio that went along with the announcement. It was an honor to meet Mr. Maytag who’s really humble and soft spoken. As someone who thoroughly enjoys beer (and especially craft brews) I owe thanks to Mr. Maytag.
The shot above was one of the most widely circulated and one of my personal faves too. It’s always interesting to see what gets used when you know what all the images look like.
Hi Gene,
I didn’t know you took that shot! I worked at Anchor for a two year interlude after the dot com bomb. Fritz was quite a character. I never thought he’d sell it and when I found out I was pretty shocked, as were many others. Hope the new guys preserve the spirit and quality of the old while expanding the market so many others have a chance to try some of the greatest craft beer made in America!
Cheers,
Gina
Great shot. When I saw this one I felt better about Fritz Maytag selling Anchor. A pic is worth a thousand….
