From Mlive:
In April, the Grand Rapids brewery sent a cease and desist letter to Tired Hands Brewing Co.of Ardmore, Pa., demanding the small brewpub stop using the name “Farmhands” for one of its Belgian saison-style ales.
But on the other side of the coin, Tired Hands owner Jean Broillet expressed frustration at the prospect of changing the name of a beer that’s become popular among pub patrons.
“Every day my industry is becoming more and more like the tech industry,” said Broillet, whose new suburban Philadelphia brewpub also specializes in Belgian and French-style ales.
“It’s a sad (expletive) state of affairs.”
