I guess health care is just so much more exciting.

Wow...no...it's not at all. Sorry RM...I missed this...I don't know how...but I did.
That just makes me cranky!!! How can they POSSIBLY say it is copyright infringement? And that poor guy is right...at $65k per battle....he can't begin to have the financial resources that Monster does.
Well, for what it's worth, I used to drink Monster Java from time to time. As of right now, it's a piece of history! There has to be some sort of action that can be taken on a far more noticeable level though...what they are doing is just plain WRONG.
Do they sell that beer locally? I would be up for a new beer!

I don't know, but it has me wanting to try his brew. Maybe I'll have Baker's order me some, and post the results in the beer thread.
ps: has anyone else noticed how easy is it to type the word "brewery"?

You know, this story really piss$$ me off! Seems to me I heard a story a while back where the makers of PEZ candy were suing a PEZ museum out in CA for some perceived infraction about a PEZ snowman (or some ridiculous thing.) Do you think the big guys are getting so desperate they are looking for people to go after or is this about something else?

I saw the same PEZ story. I think it was on the evening news. It also ticked me off, but not as much as this one (I guess I like beer more than pez)
Now that I think of it...the PEZ lawsuit originated for the same reason. The PEZ company wanted to make their own museum and didn't want the competition.

Yeah I'm not big on Barley Wine (the Vermonster), but some of the others look really good.

I got this email today from Monster's parent company (probably because of the angry email I wrote them when this started)
Vermonster lives on, thanks to the huge public support shown to Matt.

Its nice that once you got all the mouthpieces out of the way...two men settled the issue without a bunch of crap...I like that.
