Greg Hardman, founder of Christian Moerlein Brewing Company in Cincinnati, has been laid off following a decision by the brewery’s owner to outsource its beer production.
Cincinnati Beverage Company acquired Moerlein, Little Kings, Hudepohl and Burger Beer brands in March, just days before the pandemic shutdown.
No decision has been made what to do with the Moerlein brewery and the company declined to state where the beer would be produced, according to an article in the Cincinnati Business Journal.
The company will also lay off the 20-person production crew.
