From WCPO:
The new year is going to start out with a new look and name for one of Cincinnati’s local breweries.
Double Barrel Brewery will be changing its name to Bad Tom Brewing.
Co-owner Sean Smith said they were served with a cease and desist letter from Firestone Walker Brewing Co. over the “Double Barrel” title. Firestone Walker produces a beer known as “Double Barrel Ale.”
The Bad Tom brewers said they decided not to fight the change rather take the matter to court as the cost of litigation would be prohibitive.
