Miller may shut down a brewery
Closure in Washington state would be first since 1994

Miller Brewing Co., coming off another year of declining sales,
may close its brewery in Tumwater, Wash., according to officials in
that city.
If that happens, it would be a dramatic cost-cutting move by
Milwaukee-based Miller, which has struggled in recent years with
shrinking U.S. market share. It also would be the first brewery
closing by Miller, the nation's second-largest brewer, since 1994.
