Leland brewery gets artsy with beer-fueled gallery

A new brewery called MOBA Beer Co. (Museum of Beer and Art) is opening in Leland, North Carolina, in the former Mannkind Brewing space that closed abruptly in December 2024. The venture is owned by Jason "Foz" Fosdick, Carl Cross, and Matt Ray, with Cross envisioning a combined art gallery and brewery. The 5,000-square-foot space will feature rotating art exhibitions, commissioned local artwork, live music, and serve beer, wine, and cocktails, aiming to open by late August 2025.
