SBC Holdings has settled a federal lawsuit claiming it used the name of legendary Indian leader Crazy Horse without authorization on a brand of malt liquor.
SBC, formerly Stroh Brewery Co., acquired G. Heileman Brewing Co. and its Crazy Horse malt liquor in 1996 as part of a bankruptcy proceeding. The drink was sold in 32 states and manufactured at seven breweries before Stroh closed its factories in 1999.
