James Watt - head brewdoggie - disputes this story. Accordingly to him, there was no bar: the Draft Punk people were trying to register a trademark and BrewDog opposed it in view of their earlier mark(s). I'd have done exactly the same.

There seem to be a lot of these types of disputes in brewing. Recently a Dutch brewery had to undergo an complete rebrand from "Pampus" to "Pontus" after the Delerium Tremens people came after them in view of their beer "Campus".

De Molen have a beer called "Rasputin". In the US it's called "Disuptin" after North Coast Brewing brought a trademark infringement claim against them.

And of course common in the world of FYP. Back when I worked in packaging, we had to produce "Budweiser", "Bud", or "Anheuser-Busch", depending on the market it was destined for.

Diesel was the favourite of squaddies. That was lager and cask bitter. Liverpudlians called it "gold" or "golden".

Golden here. A mate used to drink half Hoegaarden, half Guiness. The Guiness went straight to the top. He called it a Widnes sunrise.

I was in Amsterdam last week for a long weekend and had quite a few white beers. Didn't intend drinking as I'd had a few 'coffees', but a few Leffe Blondes (not too original, but one of my favourite 'whites') went down very well, followed by this one (as I liked the name), which was also veery nice:

I'd love to spend more time and money in Amsterdam, taking in continuous pub crawls and working my way around the canal network getting closer to the centre.

It would be a great place for a non-cycling CC 'picnic' one day.

Revolting, but also oddly poetic.

Rapidly becoming a favourite brewery, this is all Dry and Bitter, Still Lifestyle.

It's a super rich coffee porter.

One of the best of the genre that i have ever had.

Nice labelage too

Harvey's Best - "The Orval of the South Coast!

According to a brief search without much in depth analysis, the only place on the entire internet where that phrase occurs is in that blog post. It'll be two places once Google have re-indexed this site.

Cocoa shake - does what it says on the tin. Very rich bitter chocolate with a sweet finish. A bit like a milk shake. I love it.

Just noticed, not too far away, Banbury has its first micro pub. Must visit.
