The Bar Towel

Your starting to here this more and more with the enormous growth within the craftbeer industry. Breweries having to change their names/brands due to conflict or overlapping with other's brands. This is just one example..

I read that posting and it was actually refreshing for a change. Usually when I hear these stories the brewery that gets the notice to change their name acts like whiny babies and accuses the brewery that sent the request of not being cool, or not being part of some craft brewers brotherhood. Then they change the name of their beer to some passive-aggressive insult. In this case they realize that it is all just business, do what has to be done and move on.

I've actually been wondering about "Downtown Brown" as a beer name. If you look it up on ratebeer, there are 45 of them.
