Iconic San Francisco beer maker Anchor Brewing Co. has shut down production, ending a 127-year run for what's considered to be America's first craft brewery.

"Anchor Brewing's plans to cease operations are unique to Anchor's business only," said Maria Stipp, chief executive of Stone Brewing. "Plans set fort......

MIAMI — A fugitive cruise ship that was supposed to return to Miami but detoured to the Bahamas is not likely to be arrested despite a warrant issued by a federal judge in South Florida. The U.S. Marshals Service said Tuesday that it can’t seize the Bahamas-flagged Crystal Cruises ship because it is going to stay in Bimini — outside U.S. jurisdiction — where the cruise liner’s parent company has both a resort and a marina. “We don’t expect that ship to leave Bahamian waters,” U.S. Marshals Service spokesman Rob Gonzalez told the Miami Herald on Tuesday. “We don’t expect it to come back” to Sou......
