Anchor Christmas Party

December 7, 2006 By Jay Brooks

Earlier tonight Anchor Brewery held their annual invitation only Christmas party. As usual, it was a great time with good friends, good food and, of course, great beer. While the potato wedges were the most welcome addition to the evening’s food, the best combination was an all-meat chili made with Anchor Steam beer to which I added crumbled Maytag Blue Cheese and paired with Old Foghorn Barleywine Style Ale.

The leading lights at Anchor: Fritz Maytag, John Dannerbeck and Mark Carpenter.

My beautiful, supportive and tolerant wife Sarah and me.

The lovely Jen Garris looking even more lovely than usual.

Caught enjoying the yummy frittes.

R.J. Trent, former brewer, who just opened the newest BevMo on Van Ness Boulevard and Jeremy Cowan of He’Brew, whose newest beers lately have been wonderful, especially the 10 Monumental Jewbelation and Bittersweet Lenny’s R.I.P.A. (a rye-based Imperial IPA).

    I’m sure that, somewhere on the web, there are pictures of somebody wearing a tie and looking more uncomfortable about it than you, Jay, but I haven’t found them yet!

    Really, Jay? You had to post the French fry photo?!?!? Not cute!

    Thank you for posting a shot of the lovely Jen from Magnolia! She’s the main reason to visit there — no offense, Dave! . …. OK, a pint of Proving Ground is just as dreamy.
