Charlotte's Four Friends Brewing stops production

Four Friends Brewing, which began selling craft beer to the public in Charlotte in 2010, announced on its Facebook page today that it's is bidding "a fond farewell to the Queen City," and closed operations as of April 30.
Fans of the i77, an American IPA, which head brewer Jon Fulcher called its flagship brew, will be sorry to hear it, but the posting does mention these spots as where you can get "what will be the final glasses of 4FB product on the planet":

Common Market, VBGB Beer Hall & Garden, Midwood Smokehouse, Joe Hooper's Beverage and Sandwich Exchange, Taco Mac Sports Grill, Blackthorne Restaurant & Bar, CharBar No. 7, The Brickhouse Tavern, The Wine Shop at Rivergate, Queen City Q, Charlotte/s Jocks and Jills, Carolina Beer Temple, Custom Home Pubs, Kristophers Sports Bar & Restaurant, World of Beer in South End and Harry's Grille & Tavern.

I enjoyed their I-77 IPA the first few times I had it. Then it suddenly became inconsistent at various bars/restaurants I went to. It started tasting flat or water downed to me. It's shame they couldn't survive with Charlotte having such a thriving craft beer scene now with the likes of NoDa, Birdsong, Olde Meck, Triple C and others. Their taproom situation didn't help matters either.
