After a five-year legal battle with the Canadian beer producer, Moosehead Brewers, The Grand Teton Brewing Co., the Wyoming brewer, is to cease the production of its Moose Juice Stout brand.
In June, US Trademark Appeals Board cancelled the approval for the trademark received by the company in 1992. Charlie Otto, Grand Tetons founder said: "I never dreamt it was possible. I believed that if you were issued a US trademark it was yours. We build our company on the assumption that once a mark was issued you had the freedom and go-ahead to grow that brand."
Now the company will focus on its new beer brands, the recently introduced Sweetgrass India Pale Ale and a new Extra Special Bitter which is scheduled to be launched later in the year.
