Brewers In Court, With Closed Plant Part Of The Dispute
Pabst Brewing Company is taking MillerCoors to trial this week, saying the company is trying to put it out of business.
The lawsuit involves a longstanding partnership through which MillerCoors has brewed Pabst beers.
During 2015 contract negotiations, MillerCoors announced it would be closing its Eden brewery. Pabst says the company refused to lease the facility, and would only sell it for what Pabst considered an astronomical price.
Meanwhile, MillerCoors argues that Pabst's proposals to keep the Eden facility open were commercially unreasonable. MillerCoors also said closing the brewery was a move to boost the company's long-term sustainability as thousands of new beers entered the marketplace over the last decade.
The Eden brewery closed in 2016 and more than 500 workers were laid off.
