Harlem Brewing & Harlem Brew House Clash Over Naming

From the NY Daily News:

What’s in a name? Everything when it comes to Harlem’s beer legacy. Beatty’s Harlem Brewing Company makes Harlem Brew. Harlem Brew House will soon roll out Harlem Blue.

Beatty asked Riley to cease and desist, but he refused to tap out. As such, she has opposed his application to trademark Harlem Blue.

“Craft beer isn’t coming up with a cute little name, packaging and then leveraging other people’s stuff. That’s not creative,” said Beatty. “He could have been more original.”

The fight may be be a result of a bitter aftertaste following Riley’s attempt to buy a chunk of the Harlem Brewing Company in 2011.
