From SeattlePi:
Drop Anchor Brewery, located in the small town of Cathlamet, Washington, along the banks of the Columbia River, just announced that it is changing its name. This move is a response to trademark infringement concerns raised by Anchor Brewing of San Francisco, which contacted Drop Anchor about the use of the word anchor in the brewery’s name.
The brewery formerly known Drop Anchor is now River Mile 38 Brewing Company.
“I guess it is a compliment that we have gotten their attention. We are a small, micro-brewery in a very small town that takes a lot of pride in quality and consistency and I think that is why we are growing so fast,” said Richard Erickson, Managing Partner at River Mile 38 Brewing.
