Monster Energy Drink-Maker Doesn’t Believe in ‘Vermonster’ Beer

Law.com:  “Forget David and Goliath.  This fight’s between Matt and Monster.  The maker of Monster energy drinks has taken aim at a Vermont brewery that sells a beer called “The Vermonster,” ordering it to stop selling, advertising and promoting the craft brew because it could confuse consumers.  The energy drink-maker, Hansen Beverage Co., wants tiny Rock Art Brewery to stop using the name “Vermonster” on the barley brew and to compensate it for its attorneys’ fees.”
