You may recall our recent reports detailing the legal dispute between Balcones Distilling founder Chip Tate and his board, which is primarily made up of private equity investors [see WSD 09-04-2014 ]. According to legal documents, the board filed a restraining order against Chip for his "unconscionable and reprehensible" behavior and Chip claimed his private equity partners are trying to "unjustifiably take advantage of a craft distiller and take his ownership in Balcones."
