Good day. You should do the same, even if you don't drink their stuff. http://www.monsterenergy.com/web/guest/contact Edited October 21, 2009 by Adam Embedded Video Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightMare Silverado Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 (edited) I liked monster too:( Edited October 19, 2009 by Rich language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Well then,get ready. Owned and marketed by Hansen Natural Corp, they have distribution agreements with Anheuser Busch, Pepsi Cola in Canada, Coca Cola worldwide, and Schwepps in Australia. So I guess you won't be drinking any beer, soda, or mixed drinks. Seriously, though, I see your point, but I don't think they really have a leg to stand on. The beer name is Vermontster, made in Vermont. The fact that the end of the name sounds like monster rather than Vermont is a fluke. I'm rooting for the little guy.

Memphis Senior Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Welcome to the real world gentleman. As Matt said, even if he wins in court, they will just appeal, and appeal again. Until he runs out of money. I've seen it happen before. That's why most lawyers are somewhere below used car salesmen and child molesters, on my list of human beings.

Adam Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 That sucks. Big companies can be such A#$%HOLES! I don't drink Monster Energy, or any of those drinks. In fact, ask your Dr. about them, and you will find that they are absolutely terrible for you. Keeps lots of weight on you, and screws with your heart. Long live the little guy!!!

mikegeaney Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Looks like cooler heads prevailed. I got the following, in email, today after having registered a complaint as per the original post here.... Hansen Beverage Company and Rock Art Brewery today issued the following statement in connection with a recent trademark issue: Hansen Beverage Company and Rock Art Brewery have reached an amicable agreement under which both companies' respective products will be protected - Hansen's Monster Energy® line of energy drinks and Rock Art's Vermonster beer products. > Rodney Sacks, Hansen's chief executive officer, said: "We are pleased that we were able to resolve this matter expeditiously and put the concerns that had arisen behind us so that both parties can concentrate on their day-to-day businesses, selling their respective high-quality products. Our intent in this matter was simply to protect Hansen's trademarks and prevent any likelihood of confusion arising in the future through potential product extensions and was not to prevent Rock Art Brewery from selling their Vermonster beer." > Matt Nadeau, owner of Rock Art Brewery, said: "Once Rodney and I were able to talk to each other we quickly appreciated each other's points of view and he acted reasonably, which allowed us to rapidly come to an agreement we are both happy with and allows both of us to move forward positively."
