Vermonster wins.

As a follow up to my previous post about Monster vs Vermonster, Rockart Brewing can keep the name Vermonster… as long as they do not break into the energy drink market (I’m guessing they did not have plans on doing that anyway). Great news for the brewery! You can read about it on Rockart’s website. While reading about the whole saga I found this point mentioned by Alan McLeod on A Good Beer Blog interesting:

Interestingly, another factor that might affect the outcome is that soda and beer are in the same trademark goods and services category called “light beverages” which is separate from both wine (listed under “alcoholic beverages”) and coffee (listed under “staples”).

Beer is a “light beverage” and not an “alcoholic beverage”? Does anyone else find that strange? I wonder how that designation happened? Has not beer always possessed alcohol? Anyway, congrats to Rockart once again.
