MillerCoors announces it will close Eden brewery

Eden
MillerCoors announced in September 2015 that it would close its Eden brewery in September 2016, a decision affecting about 520 jobs.
The company said it was acting to streamline its brewery operations amid falling sales, and production was to shift to its Shenandoah, Virginia, brewery about 200 miles away. The Eden plant had been the first to brew Miller Genuine Draft, which launched in 1986. Fortune's report ran Sept. 15, while Wikipedia dates the announcement to Sept. 14. The Pabst Brewing Company sued over the closure in 2016, and the dispute was settled in late 2018.
