Anheuser-Busch, US subsidiary of world-leading brewer AB InBev, has announced the closure of production at its craft brewery in the US state of New Hampshire.
The 104,000 sq ft facility, operated by Craft Brew Alliance, produces beer for the Kona and Omission brands.
“We understand the impact of this announcement on our people in Portsmouth, and we are committed to working with the local union that represents some of the CBA facility employees to provide resources for impacted employees in Portsmouth, such as severance and preferential hiring at other facilities”, a spokesperson commented.
The announcement follows a $1 million investment by Anheuser-Busch in a facility in Asheville (NC) operated by Wicked Weed, as well as $16 million ploughed into a Nevada facility that produces canned cocktails, and $4.2 million spent to upgrade a Virginia facility which produces beers like Bud Light and Michelob Ultra.
