Over the summer, San Francisco's iconic beer brand, Anchor Brewing, announced that the company is shutting down after 127 years.

Just last week we told you that the two-acre lot and brand went up for sale. Before the doors closed for good, a group of experts visited the brewery to choose artifacts to put in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History in Washington D.C.

The objects, which are already on display, are meant to represent the role Anchor Brewing had in the craft of beer revolution.

For a closer look, KCBS Radio news anchors Bret Burkhart and Patti Reising spoke with Theresa McCulla, curator of the American Brewing History Initiative at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History.
