Message bellportbeer places 1 º 07:51 Wed 10/14/2009 Last night I fired off an email to the "Monsters" I told them that I am going to stop selling their products, and when customers ask why, I will gladly tell them the story. I also stated that I will be happy to talk to other beer distributors about removing their products. I explained that as a small volume guy, I have been beat by the "I can’t afford to fight them" blues in the past, and consider their power play both unethical & abusive. I wrote that I hope they will pull back on this suit A.S.A.P. I encourage others in the beverage business to do the same. There are a lot of other energy drinks out there. Let the idiots at Hansen know that.

Message KAggie97 beers 3529 º places 220 º 10:39 Wed 10/14/2009 Just fired off my polite but firm email. Gotta stick up for one of our own, y’all!

Message StefanSD beers 2449 º places 57 º 12:13 Wed 10/14/2009 This action by Hansens makes me wonder if they are planning a Monster alco-pop product and are trying to reserve naming options.
Message BrewDad beers 5326 º places 464 º 13:23 Wed 10/14/2009 Lots of activity on Twitter and FB about this. I have also seen there are like 10 newspapers following this also. Keep up the word BOYCOTT Monster I am also surprised not to see a ISO Vermonster in the trade forums. SO I will now go do a ISO.
Message CrazyMacHarris 14:43 Wed 10/14/2009 If you are going on Twitter use the hashtag #monsterboycott We are trying to make it a trending topic and get it on the Twitter Home Page.

There are over 5,000 and its still growing! http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=171894902802&ref=mf#/group.php?gid=171894902802&ref=mf
