Lagunitas Shuts Chicago Brewery and Taproom, Moves Operations to California
Lagunitas Brewing Co. is closing its Chicago brewing operations and taproom due to declining sales and industry changes, relocating production to its original Petaluma, California site by early August. The closure affects 86 employees, some of whom will receive support services and job-placement assistance. Despite the move, Lagunitas will maintain its Chicago warehouse and continue servicing local bars, restaurants, and stores. The decision aims to create a more efficient supply chain and focus on sustainable brewing.
