Comment on Why You Should Boycott Monster Energy Drink by Runaway Jim

They really aren’t getting any additional customers. Their distribution isn’t very wide (I think it’s only 3 or 4 states, I can look it up, but it’s not worth it for this silly argument). The point of the fight was that no one in their right mind would confuse Vermonster beer with Monster Energy Drink. They were being bullied by a large company. They fought it. They won, and rightfully so. They made a big deal out of it because they had to put up a shitload of money (including, I believe, some of the owners’ own personal money) to fight it.

They’re a good brewery. They have loyal customers because they make great beer. They aren’t in any danger of closing. In fact, they moved their brewery to a bigger location fairly recently. They stand on the merits of the beer they make. If this turns more people on to a great little brewery from Vermont, so be it.

Hey can you say “Promoter”?

it’s pitiful to see a small company such as “Rock Art”, attempting to create such an image about a bigger company like “Monster”, just to get customers. If your plan to get consumers is by manipulating people into drinking your drink, then that company itself even if by some chance tends to do well temporarily, it will eventually fail. To gain popularity, you must receive your costumers from good publicity, nothing like this.

Very bad job Advocate.

Thanks for this! I used it in an assignment discussing the gradual social isolation technology has brought about. I appreciated the viewpoint, and agreed with everything you said. Great writing!

Back in 69′ the weekend before Woodstock there was a concert with all the same folks that while on there way to Woodstock they stopped and gave a major concert at the Atlantic City Race Track… Mostly south Jersey kids and Philly kids were there and of course some of those going to WOODSTOCK…No one took film of that concert but man was it a blast..I was 16 at the time and remember it like it was yesterday…. I’ve never ran into anyone that know about this other then kids from South Jersey and the local area….

Comment on Long Trail Pale Ale by Bryan P

Good call here. I had this for the first time last night, being very familiar with their IPA and a few other beers. I thought it was pretty bitter and hoppy for a pale ale, American or not.

I’m not a hop head. They can keep their Punch-you-in-the-eyePA beers.

Prost!
