Catawba Valley Brewing Company purchased Wilmington, N.C.’s Skytown Beer Company location after having conservations with restaurant owners Hayley and Stephen from Beer Barrio. “We’ve been actively evaluating locations for some time and have come to love the beer scene and lifestyle in Wilmington. We felt we could really integrate and contribute there,” said Billy Pyatt, Catawba’s CEO and co-owner. “We knew Hayley and Stephen from Beer Barrio, their Front Street restaurant, and a few very cooperative conversations with them resulted in us buying their brewery location.
