After trademark challenge from Massachusetts’ Strange Brew, Strangeways files lawsuit
Burton Brewing LLC, which operates Henrico County-based Strangeways Brewing, filed a lawsuit in July against beer and wine equipment retailer Strange Brew in a preemptive attempt to protect its name. The suit, filed in Richmond federal court, comes after Strange Brew opposed Strangeways owner Neil Burton’s attempt to register a trademark for “Strangeways Brewing” as he worked to launch the business this year.
You may recognize the name, “Strange Brew,” as the homebrew and winemaking supplies shop has been involved in a lengthy legal battle with Colorado’s Strange Brewing Company.
