Coastal Brewing To Consolidate Operations

Brewer of Fordham and Old Dominion beers is moving operations from its Ashburn, Va., brewery to its plant in Dover, Del.

DOVER, Del. (AP) -- Coastal Brewing Co. is moving operations from its Ashburn, Va., brewery to its plant in Dover.

The brewer of Fordham and Old Dominion beers says operating two breweries 130 miles apart didn't make sense.

Vice President of Sales and Marketing Casey Hollingsworth says the Ashburn brewery is scheduled to close next year. Employees there will be offered jobs in Dover.

The two breweries produce about 30,000 barrels of beer a year.

Hollingsworth says the Dover facility can expand and produce more beer than it currently makes.
