Molson Coors has recently announced the cessation of the Franciscan Well brands production early in the New Year and as a result, it has proposed to close its Franciscan Well brewery in Cork.
In a statement the drink’s giant said that this decision has not been taken lightly, and it is providing its 15 impacted employees with every support.
“Over the past decade we have invested in the Franciscan Well Brewery and the brand portfolio, most recently refreshing the visual brand identity in November 2022, and releasing new product development with Well Hazy in early 2023 and the Docklands Series in 2024,” a spokesperson said.
“Unfortunately, despite great work from the team, in the face of a challenging craft beer category and other economic pressures impacting our customers and consumers, it has not been possible to grow the brands to the level needed to sustain the brewery as part of our UK and Ireland production network.
“Our local distribution partner will be working with customers in the coming weeks.”
Consultation process
Molson Coors noted that it has entered into a consultation process with it’s impacted employees and will work through this process with integrity and respect for everyone affected.
“We will seek redeployment for all displaced employees wherever possible,” it noted.
“We understand the special place the Franciscan Well brewery and brands have in the local community and remain open to conversations with interested parties about the future of the brewery and brands.”
