Anheuser-Busch is closing two brewing facilities as it continues to overhaul its U.S. manufacturing operations.
The maker of Michelob Ultra plans to close plants in Fairfield, California, and Merrimack, New Hampshire, in early 2026, a company spokeswoman said in an email. It also sold its brewery in Newark, New Jersey to the Goodman Group.
“We will be moving production from these three facilities to other U.S. facilities, and this change will allow us to further invest in our remaining operations and our growing portfolio of industry-leading brands,” the spokesperson said.
The move affects 475 full-time employees. Anheuser-Busch said the employees will take on full-time roles elsewhere in the company.
