LISTEN: Molson Coors Shutting Down 157-Year-Old Wisconsin Brewery

In a statement obtained by WTMJ, Molson Coors Chief Supply Chain Officer Brian Erhardt said the decision to shutter the historic brewery comes at the end of a large contract brewing agreement and amid an ongoing canning line investment project at the company’s Milwaukee brewery. He said the company is closing two of its smaller brewing operations in Wisconsin. According to WTMJ, the other facility impacted is the Leinenkugel’s 10th Street brewery in Milwaukee.
