According to Teamsters Union reports, the closure of the Leinenkugel brewery in Chippewa Falls will result in 56 job losses.
Molson Coors, Leinenkugel’s parent company, announced this week that it plans to close the brewery in January and consolidate all brewing operations at its Milwaukee location.
Chippewa Falls’ mayor expressed hope that affected workers would quickly find new opportunities, highlighting the availability of manufacturing jobs in the Chippewa Valley.
