Yeah, lots of issues with that beer. You should ask them who aactually developed the recipe for it. A brewmaster named Neil in Nyack, NY is owed a lot of credit for it.

#5, thats where you're wrong. Hipsters only drink cheap, watery beer. Your miller is far more hip than anything a beer snob would drink.

"He agreed to abandon the double rings and to redesign the bottles, which are made in Germany" so much for being "Local"

Monk beer, Orval, Westmalle, it's all for hipster pussies. Get me a Miller!

Local 1 is pretty damn good. Would monks really sue over something so petty?

Orval is da bomb! And remember St. Sixtus? Gawd I miss that one!

This is a joke that I doubt would stand up in court. Since they have entirely different labels, different names, and a different bottle, there is not a chance in hell of confusion between the two, and any trademark suit would be laughable. Westmalle sucks anyway. Orval is what real monks drink!

Few dare mess with a monk's ale and live to tell of it.
