Summit Brewing sues two former employees, alleging sharing of trade secrets:
"When Summit Brewing Company hired Jeffrey Spaeth in the summer of 1986, the fledgling St. Paul business was just getting on its feet as one of fewer than 20 craft brewers in the country.
Spaeth rose up through Summit’s ranks to reach vice president of sales, along the way helping the company become one of the largest microbrewers in the United States amid explosive growth in the industry.
But now Summit is suing Spaeth and another longtime employee, Timothy Daly, accusing both of conspiring to sell the company’s confidential trade secrets to high-level executives for “a direct competitor.”"
