The beer company, known for brands like Budweiser and Bud Light, will shutter its facilities in Merrimack, New Hampshire and Fairfield, California in early 2026, it said in a statement to Boston.com
Anheuser-Busch will offer the 475 full-time employees at the three facilities full-time roles at the nearly 100 other plants around the country, a spokesperson said.
