This just really rubs me the wrong way. Rock Art Brewery located in Morrisville, VT is being attacked by Hansen Beverage Company, owners of Monster Energy Drink, in attempt to get them cease and desist with their Barleywine's name "The Vermonster".... Hansen Bev Co says they're considering moving into the beer market (I call bullshi+) and that the name of this beer would cause confusion. I'm sorry, but beer drinkers will have heard whatever hype Hansen decides to create for whatever drink they make, and should know the difference between that and an $8-9 bomber of (AWESOME) Barleywine. And if they don't...they won't make the mistake more than once.
Here is the article , but I'm just seriously peeved that such a large company would attack an incredible small time operation like this (I know, it happens all the time)
I have never purchased Monster, and now you can be damn sure that I never will. I'm a fan of the boycott put forth by some Vermont businesses, and I hope it will spread. If you're an energy drink consumer, please consider NEVER buying Monster again!!
(I don't really want to debate on this, thats why put it here, I'm just pretty pissed.)
