Choc Beer brewer loses ‘1919’ trademark battle with Minnesota company
New Ulm Brewing & Beverage Co., which contracts with August Schell Brewing Co. in New Ulm to make kegs of the root beer, sued Krebs Brewing Co. Inc. last summer for trademark infringement and unfair competition after Krebs’ 1919 Choc beer was spotted for sale in St. Paul. According to court documents filed this week, Krebs Brewing (based in Krebs, Okla.) has given up the name, agreeing not to use "1919" as a trademark for its beers.
Breweries: Choc Beer Co.
