Sheds Brewing Renamed To 127 Brewing After Trademark Dispute With Otter Creek

From Mlive:

Tolonen's and Thao's brewpub at 3090 Shirley Dr. in Blackman Township, which opened as Sheds Brewing in January, is now known as 127 Brewing.

The two brewers were surprised when they received a letter from a Washington, D.C.-based attorney notifying them their business name was in violation of a federal trademark.

"We were aware there had been a place called The Shed Brewing, but when we looked it up, it was closed," Tolonen said. "So, we didn't think there would be any problem."

What they didn't know was The Shed Brewing, a Vermont brewery, had been purchased by Otter Creek Brewing, also in Vermont. The latter still holds the right to and distributes product under the name The Shed.
