Mendocino Brewing Company, Inc. — involuntary Chapter 11 reorganization petition filed Oct 12, 2026.
Background on Chapter 11: An involuntary petition is filed by creditors; on its own it does not mean the court has entered an order for relief. The debtor may contest it and the court may dismiss it. In a Chapter 11 case the debtor-in-possession usually keeps running the business while it negotiates a plan. The automatic stay halts collection actions, and first-day motions typically address cash collateral, payroll and critical vendors.
