Boycott Magic Hat Brewing Company...

[rabidgerbil]

wow... thanks for throwing down the douche card and insulting people for expressing their opinions on a subject...

[dminnery]

Actually, around here everyone knows 9 is a Georgetown Porter, Magic Hat is just something from Harry Potter

Had no idea they were 2nd largest non-bottling brewery, I don't see them on draft as much as some local breweries.

[BeerPal]

but hey....stop being a douche...Everyone knows that #9 is Magic hat, it has been there for years!

Contrary to your assertion that Magic Hat is universally known, I have never had a Magic Hat product, have never seen it on draught or on the shelf and certainly would not automatically associate "#9" with that brewery.

I hear McCartney and the Lennon Estate are gonna sue them both for infringement on Revolution 9 from the White Album

Number nine...number nine...number nine...number nine

And maybe trojan condums will sue them for the name Magic Hat....I don't know that Trojan ever used the term magic hat, but they should have


I've never seen nor had any Magic Hat beers in WA

or maybe you just don't know very much about beer? There's no Magic Hat sold in San Diego either, but I'm well aware of the brewery and honestly think most people into beer would associate #9 with the Magic Hat beer

This is ridiculous. You can't copyright a number. The fact that the "#" sign is sometimes used to denote ''pounds'' is irrelevant. Not to mention the fact that the beers are completely different.

#9 versus 9 Lb? I think it's a douche move on the part of Magic Hat. Are they going to go after New Belgium next... Blind Faith vs. Lips of Faith?

[TapItGood]

Weak attempt for publicity...just sayin'
