Des Moines' Exile Brewing has settled a long-running lawsuit with relatives of the namesake of its Ruthie Lager, but won't say what that means for its best-selling beer. The brew is named for Ceva Ruth-Lucille "Ruthie" Bisignano, a 1950s Des Moines bartender famous for her ability to pour beers while balancing the glasses on her ample chest. The feat is depicted on the beer's label in a drawing based on photographs that appeared in publications throughout the nation. In 2020, Bisignano's heirs sued exilebrewingco, alleging it had misappropriated her likeness. They demanded compensation and that Exile desist from using her name and likeness without permission. More than three years of litigation later, court filings show Bisignano's estate and Exile have settled their legal claims, but it's not clear from the documents whether the family has signed off on the use of the Ruthie brand going forward.
