Brewery closes; World's Largest Six-Pack doomed?
The Heileman brewery in LaCrosse, WI, may be closing forever. Heileman's was purchased in 1996 by Stroh's, who consolidated operations and sold the rest to Miller and Pabst. The Heileman's brands (including Old Style) are now owned by Miller brewing and will be produced in their Milwaukee locations. The tours stopped in May and the brewery closes down in July. The fate of the World's Largest Six-Pack remains uncertain.
