On Instagram, Flat Tail Brewing of Corvallis, Oregon accused 10 Barrel Brewing (an Anheuser-Busch InBev beer brand) of stealing its tagline and rubbing it in by driving a semi-truck painted with the slogan outside its brewery.
It’s no secret you can steal a lot of intellectual property when you’ve got that sweet, sweet @anheuserbusch money, but seriously @10barrelbrewing …..did you have to drive it past our brew house?! Can’t wait to get a cease and desist for using my own slogan. XOXO – FT Dave @brewingnetwork @beerlawcenter @abinbev

@flattailbrewing, we had no idea you guys were using this tagline. We’re just stoked on our new partnership with @oregonstate, guess great minds think alike J. Although, your photo and post doesn’t inspire community, our founders and Beaver alum have come up with a couple ideas as solutions; our founders will challenge your best drinkers to a boat race, winner gets the slogan. Our we can change out the graphics to something for fitting for us like #dambetterbeer #beavershouldworktogether #whyoldguyflipusoff #nexttimecallus #wewouldhavechangedit #notnow
