Former Cigar City brewmaster opening a North Carolina brewery

No shocker at all to hear that Wayne Wambles, the former brewmaster at Cigar City that was unceremoniously let go by the Monster Energy overlords, is opening his own brewery.  Wambles has purchased UpCountry Brewing in Brevard, NC.  Can't wait to see what he brews up.

In our constant (for some reason) pursuit of Malort news we hear bars in Chicago are serving shots infused with... cicadas.  And people say craft beer comes up with crazy ingredients.

A legend of Oregon brewing has passed away.  Art Larrance founded the Oregon Brewers Festival and co-founded Cascade Brewery.  The industry definitely lost a great one.

More this week on yeast being used to recycle metal, using saline in cocktails, end of the Molson-Coors strike, and the Lagunitas Chicago closure.
