Political I've gotten more texts... (Bewilder vs LDS church)

[DAA]

I don't text much. Don't get very many. Have got more texts from friends in the last few days about the Cody's Deseret IPA news item than I usually get in two or three weeks.

One, it makes me realize how many people I have preached the Bewilder to. And two, if any exposure is good exposure, Cody seems to be getting a bunch out the deal at least.

Had to do the jaz hands on the gargle to see what you were talking about.

Oddly I never realized it was Deseret IPA. Always thought it was Desert IPA.

 

[Hickey]

I think he should re-release it as “Tainted Religion IPA”.

A whole line. Liahona, Sword of Laban, Fast Sunday, Lamanite, Nephite, Aaronic, Cumorah, Mulek, Nahom and so on.

I plan on drinking some Deseret tonight at the Bewilder 4th Anniversary celebration!

Terrestrial Stout. The Barrel-aged version is the Celestial Stout.

Hole in the Bock.

Attorney for companies owned by LDS Church demands SLC brewery discontinue one of its beers

Legal representation for several businesses owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints demanded that Bewilder Brewing Company discontinue its Deseret IPA in order to avoid potential trademark infringement, according to an October letter.

Meh, I'm used the the Church defining the rules of my business. It's kind of like me writing an instruction manual for open heart surgery.

I feel like you’d at least reference factual material if you did.

I hereby grant full permission to BeWilder Brewing to use any of the words I’ve stated on the internet to name their beers. Name-uh-Jesus-Christ-amen.

Well, you're not at the bottom of the list of people I'd trust to perform open heart surgery, so maybe that's giving them too much credit?

 

[The_Lobbster]

Can we come up with some new brews to replace it? I’ll start,

Bishop’s Brew
Moroni Maibock
Ensign Ale
Missionary Malt


Feel free to add to the list!

I’m actually surprised the church hasn’t thrown a fit (that I know about at least) regarding the picture on the Double Bock by Wasatch. Not sure if you can trademark the temple likeness, but I’m sure they could find a way.

 

[cruiseroutfit]

No lowballs, I know what I've got!

 

[johngottfredson]

Warms my heart to know my church is fighting the good fight, keeping ol’ beelzebub at bay one lawsuit at a time. Ye be warned, sinners!

How about Porter (Rockwell) Stout.

He drank, and never killed anyone that didn't need killing.

I of course expect a cut, as he's a relative...

 

[shortstraw8]

So it will now be
HoneyBee IPA
(Sorry Mormons)

No case there since they don't want to be associated with the term mormons anymore and they can't claim to own honeybee.

 

[johngottfredson]

For what it’s worth, I don’t think you should change the name from Deseret. I don’t think there is a strong case for the church on this, it’s certainly not offensive for Mormons, and you could easily get pro bono representation if it came down to it.

Except use the view of the hebrews word that was copied into the BoM. That would be really classic.
