Not a surprise.

I was hoping maybe they would change up the recipe and beer name completely, but I think I read it's going to be the same and they're just changing the name to Mecha

Before coming to a settlement, the defendant tried out a parody defense. Asked how the beer character made fun of Godzilla, Dylan Lintern, a vice president at the brewery, offered in deposition, "Because Godzilla is not a hop monster. I mean, you’re asking me to explain humor to you. If you don't get it, I can't help you. I don’t know what you want me to say."
The Japanese company certainly wasn't laughing.
Oh well. Didn't help that the logo was basically mechagodzilla.

Recipe ain't changing although I would like to see a new one. Some of the ideas they came up with to tweak the label are pretty good, but I think it will just piss off the Godzilla people even more if they can get away with it.

Glad to hear they were able to settle this. I think originally Toho was looking for 3X income damages since NOLA knowing profited off their trademark.

If they didnt see the lawsuit coming they really should hire a media consultant...
