Beer Makes News, Around the Globe and in NC

MillerCoors announced this week it will close its Eden, North Carolina brewery in September 2016.  The brewery has been part of the community for nearly 40 years.  More than five hundred workers will be laid off.  Also  this week, Budweiser, maker of Anheuser-Busch InBev announced it will buy Miller.  If the deal  goes through it would unite two of the world's largest beer makers.  David Hurand spoke with Sierra Nevada Mills River Beer Ambassador Bill Mandley.
