MERRIMACK, N.H. —
The Anheuser-Busch facility in Merrimack is closing in early 2026.
According to the beermaker, the decision to close the Merrimack facility comes as the company takes steps to “update and modernize our U.S. manufacturing operations.” Advertisement
As of now, the company has about 100 facilities across the country.
The company is also closing its facility in Fairfield, California, and is selling its facility in Newark, New Jersey.
An Anheuser-Busch spokesperson told WMUR that they will be shifting production from these three facilities to other U.S. facilities.
“These changes will enable us to invest even more in our remaining operations and in our portfolio of growing, industry-leading brands,” the spokesperson said.

This is kind of a big deal here in southern NH
This story is all over the local Facebook pages with a lot of comments being GO WOKE, GO BROKE
When InBev bought them the first thing they did at this brewery was get rid of the horses.
All the Bud Christmas commercials with the wagon being pulled by the horses in the snow were filmed here in NH.
One commercial was filmed in a filed owned by a guy I know.
How is that Bud Light Ad campaign working out for you now?
Owned by foreigners?
They are owned by a Brazilian (I think) beverage company.
Poor management decisions have real effects on people’s lives. When Kodak had layoffs in Rochester NY or GE had massive downsizing in Schenectady NY, it crippled once prosperous cities.
Yes, InBev is headquartered in Belgium.
There are only about six major beer producers in the world.
I recall someone posting a graphic of all the major beer brands. They were all owned by a hand full of corporations.
There are a few major independents like Boston Beer Company. The brewers of Sam Adams.
My college roommate worked for AB.
He was also in the USAR. As he moved up in rank, his army duties expanded. This included a few year old deployments.
His bosses gave him all sorts of grief—suggesting that “he pick”one or the other. The Army HR people made short work of that, but in essence he was pushed aside for the final five years of his career. Those were the five years he really “needed” to have purpose in his life after a really difficult deployment.
I stopped drinking their piss water long ago. I have no use for those people and their substandard swill.
Belgium, not Brazil. I knew it started with a B.
Well, there’s always Allagash in Maine.
When InBev bought Molsen (who owned Rolling Rock), Rolling Rock production was moved from Latrobe, PA to Newark. Haven’t had once since.

Too bad. Visited there once. Saw the horses.
A friend owns a local bar in a suburb west of Nashua.
I asked him what the number one seller is?
He said it is still Bud Light.
Even though they have about ten beers on draft.
Many of those change seasonally though. Like Sam Adams is now a Winter Wheat ale(I had one just recently).
In the fall there is always Pumkinhead Pumpkin Ale made by a brewery in Portland, ME.
Then there is always Guiness.
Then there are all the IPAs. Which are very popular with the Gen X beer drinkers.
I addition, now every major brewery is making a Non Alcoholic beer. Last year I stopped drinking for three months. I tried all of them. The Corona Zero is actually not bad. Especially with a lime in it. Blue Moon and Guiness also make a no alcohol beer now. Which aren’t bad. However, the best I have found is called Rescue Club. Made by the Woodstock VT brewery. They make a Pilsner that actually tastes like a regular beer.
Mich Ultra has a no alcohol beer, but I just drink the regular which is practically the same. When I only have a few, I like the wheat beers, can’t stand the hoppy IPA’s, they taste like citrus to me.
GO WOKE, GO BROKE
Indeed the sting of stupidity is a long term deal.
Whoa! I remember when they first opened and everyone was scrutinizing the cans to see if they were brewed in Merrimack. Supposedly the first city named was the brew location. It was avoided like the plague by New Englanders.
What’s wrong with that Merrimack River water?
