Ravinia Brewing Company changes name after trademark dispute

CHICAGO – Ravinia Brewing Company has opened a new chapter, renamed Steep Ravine Brewing Company, inspired by the brewery’s flagship IPA.

The decision, taken in collaboration with Ravinia Festival following a trademark disputemarks an important milestone for the brewery founded ten years ago. Although the name may be different, the company’s commitment to community, craftsmanship and creation remains the same.

“As we transition to Steep Ravine Brewing Company, we are integrating the connection between beer and storytelling,” said co-founder and managing partner Kris Walker. “Sharing a beer has always been about creating meaningful experiences, and this next chapter allows us to honor that tradition.”

THE Highland Park Taproom will undergo minor updates, while the Logan Square Taproom will close its doors on December 14 with a farewell party. The brewery plans to reuse the Logan Square space for beer production.

Steep Ravine Brewing Company will continue to offer popular beers including GABF medal-winning Diversey Station Hazy Pale Ale and flagship Steep Ravine IPA. The brewery will also introduce new styles like Launch Party 2.0, a double IPA with spruce tips, and Double Sproak, a barrel-aged IPA.

The limited-edition Steep Ravine Brewing Company cans will be available exclusively at taprooms in Highland Park and Logan Square over the coming weeks.
