Last year a New Orleans brewery tried to fight Toho on a beer named "Mecha Hopzilla" and lost. Just using the name and silhouette of Godzilla is legally much more clear cut. Supporting local businesses should include not encouraging them to do things that will affect their financial viability.

Because it doesn't bode well for their planning if they didn't bother to think about that.Scott Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01239391361895323698noreply@blogger.com
