Lake Norman brewery in bankruptcy

CORNELIUS, N.C. — Cornelius-based D9 Brewing Co. has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

D9, located at 11138 Treynorth Drive, filed the voluntary petition on March 29, according to records from the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of North Carolina.
