Rock Art Brewery Vermonster vs Monster

I’m not sure how many of us locally are following this story, but it’s getting pretty interesting.  Basically Monster energy drinks is suing Rock Art Brewery to force them to cease and desist selling their Vermonster barley wine.  Rock Art is likely to win, provided they have the funds to chase it through the courts…and those funds are pretty extensive.  In the end the court fight between a small brewery and a billion dollar corporation is likely to bankrupt Rock Art.  For now it seems that Matt is willing to fight his fight in the media, because he apparently has little financial choice, but is still unwilling to change the name of Vermonster.

So where do you come down on this issue NEPA?  Should he change the name and walk away or fight the fight and potentially lose lots of money and maybe the brewery in the process?  What would you do?  Do you or would you still drink Monster Energy drink after hearing the story?  Can we as consumers help?  Speak up NEPA….Comments please.
