I'm glad this is getting the attention it deserves. Go Rock Art! :rockin:
A fellow from Vermont, Tony Picchini started a distro, Pitcher of Nectar, here in Phoenix. That's why it's here.
Hey, I know some people on here are not big fans of the Brewing Network. However, they have a pretty decent listener base. I'm wondering if anyone has bothered forwarding this to them...you know what, forget that question, I'll send it to them!
Of course they'll probably just mock me!!!
Tony better watch out, Phish put out an album in the mid 90's called "A picture of Nectar". Someone might get confused.:cross:
BTW, I used to drink 1 or 2 a day of the Monster Lo-Carb. Not anymore. F#&K Monster!!
We're all on the same side of this issue.
That's where you'd be wrong about James.

James gets the conservative/NPR delivery rap because he is so not TBN, but if you ever met him you'd know he's a happening guy.
Due do your shenanigans written about in this article (http://www.wcax.com/global/story.asp?s=11291060) regarding your feelings on another business using a name like Vermonster relating to a monster of a beer, I will no longer purchase any of your products and steer anyone who is considering buying one not too.
Your lack of respect and need to lookout for your market share in a case like this is the exact reason why I am disgusted with your business practices.
Don't bother responding
This video makes me proud to support these guys!
I still have no idea why Rock Art is the target, when Brooklyn has a beer named "Monster". Not "Brookmonster" or "NYMonster", just Monster. Never do I wish this upon Brooklyn (another great brewery I love).. but this proves to me Hansen is just after the money. Can they just be using Rock Art as the stepping stone and court precedence to go after Brooklyn? Scary corporate world we live in. Brooklyn Brewery should watch this case very closely and do what they can to help Rock Art since this is too close for comfort for their product identity as well. Damn you Hansen!
i wrote monster telling them I'll never drink their products again. I don't anyway, but if I ever need a caffeine rush, it'll be red bull. . .
I gave them my thoughts on the matter. I don't live where I can support Rock Art through my purchases of their beers, but I can damn sure deny Monster and Hansen's my business. I also made a point of telling all my energy drink swilling classmates to take their money elsewhere. I wonder how long it will take before Monster starts seeing the bottom line drop?

Anyway I am going to actually send e-mails to Coke to see if they want to help out someone being bullied by a competing company.
Coca cola is Hansen/Monsters distribution company.
Wait, I thought AB distributed Hansen/Monster and AB had a relationship with PepsiCo?
here is the letter I sent to the White house:
This message is intended for President Obama:
I assume you are a beer fan from recent events and understand its inportance to the American culture. I am not sure if you are aware of a terrible injustice being done to a small brewery named Rock Art brewing in Vermont. The short story is Monster Energy Drink is suing Rock Art brewing over a beer named Vermonster. All lawyers that the brewery has contacted have said that Monster Energy Drink has no right in this matter, but they have more money and will be able to continue until Rock Art runs out of funds.
With your support of small business I hope there is something you can do about this matter. I have become more supportive of your policy as I tend to be moderately conservative minded. This is a great opportunity to show your desire to promote small business and their growth.
I am attaching two websites one linking to the story and one to Rock Art's website.

On the brewery page a video is posted, this video breaks my heart as this small business owner explains the peril he faces as his passion is being snuffed out.
Thank you for your time and please take action,
