Wawa's Shore Tea: New Jersey brewer claims Cape May Brewing Co. violated his trademark
Jeff Plate, the former owner of Asbury Park Brewing, is filing a lawsuit over the new Shore Tea collaboration between Wawa and Cape May Brewing Co. Plate claims he developed and trademarked "Shore Tea" as a stand-alone hard tea product before the COVID-19 pandemic. After pitching it unsuccessfully to Cape May Brewing this spring, Plate said he was blindsided to learn of the company's partnership with Wawa in July.
