DECEMBER 14, 2025 — RESTRUCTURING, 475 EMPLOYEES AFFECTED
The company has announced a restructuring to update and modernize its U.S. manufacturing operations, with the closure of facilities in Merrimack, New Hampshire, Fairfield, California, and the sale of its facility in Newark, New Jersey.
According to a company statement, “After conducting a thorough review, we have decided to sell our Newark, NJ facility to the Goodman Group and to close our facilities in Fairfield, CA, and Merrimack, NH in early 2026. We will be shifting production from these three facilities to our other U.S. facilities, enabling us to invest even more in our remaining operations and our portfolio of growing, industry-leading brands. Affected employees will be offered full-time employment elsewhere at other facilities, along with a relocation package. Those who decline that deal will be offered severance, according to the company.”
JULY 26, 2023 — APPROXIMATELY 380 EMPLOYEES
The company has announced a restructuring to eliminate corporate and marketing roles at major U.S. offices, including those in St. Louis, New York, and Los Angeles in response to the precipitous sales calamity that struck Bud Light beer after the company denigrated its customer base with a “woke” political statement.
Approximately 2% of the company’s U.S. workforce are impacted.
According to Anheuser-Busch Chief Executive Brendan Whitworth, “While we never take these decisions lightly, we want to ensure that our organization continues to be set for future long-term success. These corporate structure changes will enable our teams to focus on what we do best—brewing great beer for everyone.”

St. Louis, Missouri-based Anheuser-Busch, the iconic brewing company, announced that the company will lay off 400 employees in Colorado.

Change is coming. There will always be a tomorrow, no matter how much you may try to ignore it. There are no guarantees in life or promises for a bright future. Just because something bad hasn't happened yet, doesn't mean it won't. It can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere. No one is guaranteed to wake up tomorrow and still have a job by evening. Are you now wondering, Am I Next?
