Ridiculous! Even if they did, Vermonster is clearly a different animal. This is frivolous bullying by a powerful corporation simply to flex their lawyer's muscles. Rock Art brews actual beer (not that watered-down dreck known as Bud) and is in no way infringing on the whole toxic "energy drink" craze. How can a company own rights to the word monster?

In my opinion, science will show that this caffeine/sugar/taurine-driven garbage will prove to be toxic...and the thought of our children guzzling it is an outrage...but this?!

"Don't worry to much about it. Though Monster Energy owns the "trademark". Monster cable tried to sue them and everybody that was using the word monster in products years ago...it didn't go so well for them. Even they also state they own a trademark for monster."
