Boston Beer is facing potential damages of $175.5 million following a jury ruling in favor of Ardagh Metal Packaging in a contract dispute over aluminum can supply.
The case centers on allegations that Boston Beer failed to meet minimum purchase commitments agreed between 2021 and 2025.
While Boston Beer has denied the claims, it confirmed plans to pursue post-trial motions and appeals, signaling that the legal battle is far from over.
The total damages figure includes adjustments related to counterclaims filed by Boston Beer, which argued that Ardagh failed to deliver cans meeting agreed quality and specification standards.
The company is currently assessing the financial impact of the ruling and has indicated it intends to cover any potential payments using available cash reserves.
