Support Your Local Brewer

My beer twitter feed is all Stone Brewing this afternoon.  Stone is suing MolsonCoors over the branding of Keystone.  According to the West Coaster:

The suit alleges that multi-national “Big Beer” conglomerate MillerCoors is purposely trying to create confusion in the marketplace with a recent rebranding of the products in Keystone’s portfolio. A prime example are 12-ounce cans, which break the word “Keystone” into two words on separate lines that read “Key” and “Stone” (which appear in all capital letters). When rotated a certain way, all that is visible is the word Stone.
 Here is Stone's Greg Koch explaining the lawsuit:




I support Stone as it defends its name.  I plan to buy some Stone beer this week to contribute to Stone's legal defense fund.
