Leinenkugel’s will no longer use an image of a Native American woman long associated with the Chippewa Falls-based brewery.
The Post-Cresent reports Leinenkugel’s will begin to make changes to the logo and other imagery related to the brand in the coming months.

The company’s website said it has used Native American imagery on its label since the 1930s.
