Coors Brewery Alton - INTENSE SECURITY GETAWAY

The closure follows Heineken’s decision to move its production back in-house, which Molson Coors said had contributed to its decision to close the brewery. It said its had been unable to replace work lost from Heineken. The 50-year-old brewery in Alton will close in May next year.

Molson Coors, while closing one site, is in the process of investing £75 million in its Burton Brewery – one of the biggest single capital investments in British brewing for decades. The capital will be used to improve brewing technology at the brewery and its infrastructure as part of a five year redevelopment plan to support the production of 1.2 billion pints of beer a year.

Molson Coors brews and distributes products under the Heineken, Amstel Light, Murphy’s, Newcastle Brown Ale, Strongbow cider, Miller Lite, Miller Genuine Draft, Miller Chill, Milwaukee’s Best, and Milwaukee’s Best Dry brands.C


ALA Homes (Thames) Ltd has announced its involvement in the promotion of the 12.8-acre Alton brewery site following an exchange of agreement with the Molson Coors Brewing Company UK Limited.

The developer’s involvement in this project will see the regeneration of the former Manor Park brewery on Lower Turk Street, principally “residential-led” but, it has been confirmed, with provision on site for a new community centre and business premises.

Molson Coors has worked closely with East Hampshire District Council (EHDC) to agree a development brief for the regeneration of the site and agreed to sell the site to CALA, through its adviser Vail Williams LLP, earlier this year.
