In light of the recent joint statement issued with the Ravinia Festival Association, we just wanted to quickly provide a brief additional statement based on the many inquiries we have been receiving.
As you are aware, we have begun the process of a re-branding, and intend to share further details and specifics in the next few days. We are grateful to have been able to settle the dispute in a way which respects the interests of both organizations. With the dispute behind us, we are ready to embrace this new chapter of our business and are genuinely excited about the possibilities ahead. Right now, our focus is on working hard to craft a careful path forward for our team, our business and our community. We are incredibly fortunate (and so very grateful) to have the deep support of our community, and with that support, we believe that our business will not only rebrand and carry on – but will in fact flourish. We appreciate the assistance of the Ravinia Festival Association during this transition period as there is a lot of work ahead. Please encourage anyone who is interested in helping us chart this new path forward to reach out to us, and until then - keep an eye out for upcoming announcements and opportunities!
JOINT STATEMENT:
After considerable discussions, we’ve reached a mutual agreement that puts our disputes behind us and enables us to both move forward. The agreement affirms Ravinia's trademarks and provides that Ravinia Brewing Company will announce a name change and a new brand, with Ravinia providing assistance during the transition.
While arriving at this resolution has taken time, we are grateful to have been able to resolve our differences in a way that respects both of our interests. We look forward to pursuing our respective paths forward and focusing our efforts on our shared commitment to the community.
