Jon Defibaugh is moving on to Tired Hands Brewing Company.
Earth Bread & Brewery Head Brewer John Defibaugh is moving on. Defibaugh has been at Earth for 3 1/2 years—as long as it has been open—and will now head to Tired Hands Brewing Company in Ardmore, according to Earth's newsletter.

You've read about Zag Films and director Brian Troy on this site within the past couple of weeks.
