Closing the Chippewa Falls facility ends a tradition that began more than 150 years ago. Operations at both facilities will cease effective Jan. 17, 2025.

Production at both facilities will shift to their main site in Milwaukee.

The move follows the gradual shift of production of Leinie’s brands from Chippewa Falls to Milwaukee as the portfolio has grown over the years, with Milwaukee already producing more than 75% of the total Leinenkugel volume, according to the emailed note to distributors.
