Reached for comment, CBA chief operating officer Scott Mennen confirmed the cutbacks, but declined to say exactly how many employees were let go, saying only that it was “about half” of the brewery’s production, packaging, warehousing, maintenance and brewery operations workers…

Before you start leaving snarky comments, I strongly encourage you to read the complete story on Brewbound so you actually understand the situation. Might save you from sounding uninformed.
