NOLA Brewing Forced To Change MechaHopzilla Beer Name By Godzilla Owners

A New Orleans brewery has agreed to change the name of one of its beers, after it was sued by the company that owns the rights to the movie monster Godzilla.

Attorneys for Toho Co. Ltd. announced Wednesday that it had settled a trademark infringement lawsuit with the New Orleans Lager & Ale Brewing Co.

The deal requires the brewery to change the name of its Mechahopzilla beer by the end of the year.

Toho sued the brewery in September, claiming the name and logo of the beer were copycats of Godzilla’s mechanical doppelganger, Mechagodzilla.
