“In some of my songs I have casually mentioned, the fact that I like to drink beer…” – Tom T. Hall

I’ve been working with Blake from thebrewauthority.com to produce the 5 Minute Beer Break. Truth be told, we keep going way longer than 5 minutes… but it’s still fun.

Go check out the podcast and be sure to send any comments and/or suggestions.

One of the most disturbing cases of bullying via the legal system, Rock Art Brewery in Morrisville, VT has been threatened by the Monster Energy Drink Co. for trademark infringement. The reason? Matt and his wife Renee who own and operate Rock Art produce a barley wine style beer called: Vermonster.

For the whole story, watch the YouTube video posted on Rock Art Brewery’s homepage:

Obviously, the legal claims are ridiculous and it’s purely an example of Monster trying to break into the alcoholic beverage market by laying waste to the good people already there.  Matt is just unlucky enough to have chosen a product name kindabutnotreally close to Monster’s own.

My heart goes out to Rock Art and I promise to keep sending letters to Monster and their corporate parent, Hansen Beverage Company expressing my extreme displeasure over their actions.

Be sure to follow the drama as it plays out at the Rock Art Brewery website and by following Rock Art on Twitter, @rockartbrewery.

Good luck, Matt!
