Renegade Renames Ryeteous IPA To Redacted IPA After Cease & Desist Letter from Sixpoint

Just approved today is the new label for Renegade Brewing’s Redacted IPA.  This tong-in-cheek name refers to a dispute with Sixpoint Brewing over the previous name for this beer, Ryeteous IPA.  Sixpoint has a Ryeteous Ale.  Details from Westword:

Last fall, Renegade, which cans Ryeteous, got a call from Shane Welch, the president of Sixpoint Brewery in Brooklyn, asking him to change the beer's name. Sixpoint, which also cans its beers, makes a similar rye-based beer called Righteous Ale.

"My proposal was that we are not in the same market and we are not going to be in the same market probably, and our packaging is extremely different," says Renegade founder Brian O'Connell. "I said why don't we follow in the footsteps of Avery Brewing and Russian River and do a collaboration beer? But they weren't big on that unfortunately. So that was followed up by a cease and desist letter from their attorney."
