Yet another major legal battle has surfaced against Bald Birds Brewing. This time it is an internal battle involving their B3 Beverage Brand. As has been reported in the past Bald Birds and Connecticut-based Two Roads Brewing Company (among other brands) were once involved in the B3 Beverage partnership which have since seen them split.
The issue revolves around Two Roads Brewing and investor W. Whitney George seeking an 18.5 million dollar judgment against Bald Birds Brewing Company, its founder, and multiple affiliated entities.
According to filings in the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas, Two Roads Brewing Company, LLC and George filed a Complaint in Confession of Judgment targeting Joseph Feerrar and seven corporate entities tied to the Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania based Bald Birds operation. The court entry assesses total damages at 18,517,595.75 dollars, citing an averment of default on commercial business transactions.
For those not familiar with the legal jargon, a confession of judgment is a unique clause built directly into high-stakes commercial agreements, corporate loans, or supply deals. Under Pennsylvania law, it essentially allows a creditor to enter a monetary judgment immediately if a default occurs, bypassing the lengthier standard trial process. The court entry specifically notes that this filing was strictly a commercial business transaction rather than a consumer credit situation, meaning the parties involved were operating under a sophisticated commercial contract.
The list of defendants named in the docket shows just how deep the web of corporate entities goes. Feerrar is listed individually as a defendant alongside seven distinct LLCs sharing an address on Shaffer Lane in Jersey Shore, Pennsylvania. Those named include Bald Birds Brewing Company LLC, Triple B Ventures LLC, B3 Beverage Company LLC, B3 Beverage Company Hold Company, B3 Beer Company LLC, B3 Beer Company 2 LLC, and B3 Beer Company 3 LLC.
Following the initial complaint in late June, the court docket shows significant movement on the post-filing side. On July 22, 2026, the legal team representing Two Roads and George submitted formal Affidavits of Service confirming that personal service of the complaint was successfully executed on Feerrar and each of the seven corporate entities back on July 13, 2026. Under Pennsylvania court rules, defendants hit with a confessed judgment typically have a strict window of time to file a formal petition to strike or open the judgment if they intend to contest the default or argue the underlying numbers.
At this time, the case remains listed as an active proceeding in the Judgments division at City Hall in Philadelphia, and representatives for both sides have yet to make public statements regarding the multi-million dollar judgment. We will keep you updated as more details emerge on how this massive legal battle impacts operations and the broader Pennsylvania craft beverage landscape.
As we continue to report, Bald Birds and B3 recently faced a litany of financial pressures including lawsuits from former landlords, defaulting of debt in New York, and recent wage compliance enforcement by state labor authorities. We will continue to monitor the updates on all pending cases as well as the future of the brewing company and keep the local community updated on any further developments.
