Craft Beer Scene in Wake County Sees Closures

Craft Beer Scene in Wake County Shaken: Cotton House & Vicious Fishes Close TaproomsThe craft beer scene in Wake County is experiencing upheaval as two popular taprooms, Cotton House Craft Brewers in Cary and Vicious Fishes, announce their closures. Cotton House, a beloved spot for six years, closed its doors due to insurmountable challenges, including bankruptcy and a recent acquisition by Triangle Beer Company. Vicious Fishes, facing a 55% rent hike, is closing its Fuquay-Varina location, which was unique for its full kitchen and diverse menu. These closures reflect a broader trend in the craft beer industry, where more breweries are closing than opening this year, and craft beer sales nationwide continue to slow. DNN | The Daily News Now!
