Anheuser-Busch to sell iconic New Jersey brewery, close California and New Hampshire facilities

St. Louis-based Anheuser-Busch is selling its decades-old New Jersey brewery and is closing two others in California and New Hampshire as part of a broader strategy to optimize production.

The Anheuser-Busch brewery in Newark, New Jersey, which opened in 1951 and is one of the company’s longest-running facilities, will be sold to the Goodman Group in 2026. Its Fairfield, California, and Merrimack, New Hampshire, facilities will close in early 2026.

The company plans to shift production from these three facilities to its other U.S. facilities, enabling the company "to invest even more in our remaining operations and in our portfolio of growing, industry-leading brands," the spokesperson said.
