Rumbles is ready to rumble with DB
Posted by Joanna on Friday, 01 May 2009
There's been quite a bit of news around DB Breweries trying to copyright the already in use name 'radler' lately, and one Wellington liquor shop - Rumbles on Waring-Taylor street has had enough.
As seen on the Real Beer page:
Join us in a boycott of DB Brewery's products and support NZ Beer...
In response to what we perceive to be bully-boy tactics and a direct attack on the emerging boutique beer industry, Rumbles Wine Merchant will not be stocking the following products brands untl the threat of legal action has been lifted. We make no apologies for any inconvenience...
And you can read more about it on the Rumbles blog. Go Rumbles! Just reading about this makes me thirsty, I could really go for a Bennett's right about now...
I sent an email via DB's website and just received this back from them:
So now I'm puzzled: is this an old story, or is it still current? (To be fair to Ms Jalfon, I removed her contact details).
Sounds like Helen Clark has faked out the UN and taken up a position as DB's Comms Manager under a nom de plume.
MOVE ON!!
In all seriousness, it ain't over till it's over. Appeals Court anyone? Especially with JAWS on board.
Resolved.. how? By DB admitting they're a bunch of dicks?
