New batch of beer labels…
Limb and Life 2: Sierra Nevada and Dogfish Head collaborated again Here is yesterday’s post on Life and Limb in case you missed it. The primary question that remains now is will there be any bottles of Limb and Life this time around? It was draft-only last year (and this is obviously just a keg collar being approved).
Perennial Hommel Bier: Label copy…”In the hop capital of Belgium, Hommel is the word for humulus, the plant genus where hops reside. Our Hommel Bier defies tradition by combining North American malts, Pacific Northwest hops, and a Belgian yeast strain. The result is a beer that combines earthy and spicy tones from the yeast with a slight orange note contributed by the hops.” More info on this brewery.
Red Hare Stowaway IPA: While I wish this new Georgia brewery lots of success, I don’t understand why new breweries don’t do a simple web search before selecting beer names. Registered trademark for Stowaway IPA. (In full disclosure, I personally know Baxter Brewing’s President though I’m guessing he doesn’t know about this…until now). Anyway, it looks like Red Hare is also coming out with Long Day Lager and Whabbit Wheat.
Page 24 Biere Ambree and Page 24 Biere Blonde: Brewed by Brasserie St. Germain in France. Imported by The Shelton Brothers. More info on the series here.
Peak Organic Hop Noir: Originally released in 22 oz. bottles, now has approval for 12 oz. bottles
Neil House Double Rye PA: Double Pale Ale brewed with rye malt, 22 oz. bottles
I’m not that familiar with trademark law, but looking at the registration, the Baxter trademark is for “Stowaway I.P.A.” with periods included in the IPA moniker. Would this then still be considered trademark infringement?
As long as it could possibly create confusion as to the source of the product then yes.
Ah. Gotcha.
