Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Wins Class Certification For Kona Beer Consumers

On September 26, 2018, the Honorable Beth L. Freeman of the United States District Court of the Northern District of California granted Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP’s class certification motion in a consumer class action against Craft Brew Alliance, Inc. (“CBA”). On July 16, 2018, Faruqi & Faruqi filed its motion seeking to certify classes of California consumers alleging that CBA intentionally misleads consumers into believing that its Kona Brewing Co. brand beers are brewed in Hawaii when they are brewed in the mainland United States. Partners Timothy J. Peter and Ben Heikali of Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP are heading this litigation.
