BREAKING NEWS--Asheville, North Carolina's exciting and innovative Wicked Weed Brewery has announced that they will be becoming a part of the High End, Anheuser-Busch's group of assimilated former craft breweries that have tried to utilize A-B InBev's massive resources to improve and increase their beer production, to mixed (at best) results. Wicked Weed has 4 production and taproom facilities in Asheville, including the Funkatorium, the East Coast's only taproom and production facility dedicated to sour beers and similar styles. Many news services are reporting on this story, including Brewbound, who has the official press release and more coverage.

I will have more details and commentary on this story later today.
