MIAMI — Lagunitas Brewing Company is suing Soltura alleging false advertising of its products.

Lagunitas Brewing Company claims that the defendant is engaged in false advertising, deceptive trade practices and copyright infringement related to its beer brand “CERVEZA PALMA,” according to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Miami.
