""We will be shifting production from these three facilities to our other U.S. facilities and these changes will enable us to invest even more in our remaining operations and in our portfolio of growing, industry-leading brands," an Anheuser-Busch spokesperson told SFGATE via email."
""We are learning more about the impacts of the closure of Anheuser Busch's Fairfield plant, and it is devastating," Moy wrote. "We are most concerned about the folks who are losing their jobs or having to relocate.""
Anheuser-Busch will close the Fairfield brewery at 3101 Busch Drive by Feb. 22, ending Bay Area production after 50 years. The company conducted a thorough review following five years of updating and modernizing manufacturing and will shift production to other U.S. facilities while selling a New Jersey plant and closing a New Hampshire brewery. A WARN notice lists 238 employees as impacted; the company said all Fairfield employees will be offered full-time roles at other production plants. The closure follows a 2022 Oakland distribution center shutdown. City estimates place tax revenue losses at $10.7 million local, $8.9 million state and $3.3 million federal.
