Central City Brewing, Bear Republic settle over Red Racer

Not sure if they'll just rebrand entirely (including Canada), but apparently Central City is changing Red Racer to Red Betty due to a trademark lawsuit with Bear Republic (presumably over Racer 5). Details: http://beernews.org/2012/01/central-cit ... r-dispute/

Now that's annoying.

I've wanted to try Racer X for years... but suddenly I don't feel like purchasing ANY of their products right now.

The rebranding only applies in the US. Still Red Racer up here.
