Welcome you back to the San Francisco port. And this historic pier 48. Pier 48 as you may know was one of the last piers built right before world war ii. It was built in concert with pier 45 and Fishermans Wharf in the changes of technology in cargo movement. Those changes were stimulated by the fact that we had two bridges opening up here in the bay. And our opportunities to move cargo changed by vessel and rail to also by truck. Pier 48 as you can see is much like all the other piers you are familiar with. It has a great large and long apron for cargo to be shipped and stored and out into distribution. The difference of pier 48 than others you know. On this side is a second transit shed with another apron. In the middle is a long divide. Thats where the rail cars and the trucks came in to pick up the cargo. Across the way is seawall lot 337. That was filled in by the santa fe railway. In order to create a new headquarters for their train movement. That would go down the peninsula and
Complimented. And it will be a huge part of pier 70. So this is all part of a master plan. I have to admit that was over a yearandahalf ago that larry told me in confidence. And i couldnt say anything. May come down to the pier. But you cant jinx it, you cant say anything about it. And we were together in 2010 celebrating our world series. And already whispering about the possibility. And will to see it happen is fantastic. And with a Homegrown Company and to have your iconic symbol to be in play with the port is fantastic as well. I see all of that happening. And again i have to say to larry and keith and to the port and to all of our project managers. We are still very lucky as a city. And even the board of supervisors know how lucky we are. Not only to gain the attraction of world status with our championship baseball. And also, you have to understand anchorstein is no longer a manufacturer beer like microbreweries. They are requested and i brought a friend that wants to send contai

Exports going out. Where people can Wander Around peering through the observation windowing seeing our beer being made. Where hundreds of people can any to work. Pier 48s future is enormously exciting. Now i would like to turn our attention to our big brother. The giants are a truly amazing enterprise. And winning takes on many forms. Not just winning at the plate. But delivering the best ballpark experience possible along with winning the hearts and minds of its incredible fan base. The vision of what a ballpark could be and the impact on this Historic District has been nothing short of amazing. And for their enthusiasm and support, i thank them greatly. I think the vision they had. Their ballpark at at t will continue here at mission rock and again exceed expectations. Their support is very reassuring and i thank them for that. But its more than that. Brews and baseball go hand in hand, and since opening here at the ballpark, its no surprise that the giants continue to amass trophies

Our beers stand out in quality, taste and originality. Most importantly they are still made in San Francisco. Craft beer has gone global. In sydney or london or singapore, our fans are not only choosing a greattasting beer. But its true to its origin. Its the real deal. Its San Franciscos beer. In 1969 anchor began its sixth location at the bottom of potrero hill. Today we see our development exceeding production capacity. So we need a second brewery. And to stay true to the va
