  • Trade Marks Inter Partes Decision O/327/19
    O-327-19 TRADE MARKS ACT 1994 IN THE MATTER OF APPLICATION NO. 3281046 BY EVANS GROUP HOLDING COMPANY LIMITED TO REGISTER THE TRADE MARK: Lord Nelson FOR GOODS AND SERVICES IN CLASSES 32 and 33 AND IN THE MATTER OF OPPOSITION TO ITS REGISTRATION UNDER NO. 412571 BY HEAVEN HILL DISTILLERIES, INC. Background and pleadings 1) On 8 January 2018 Clare Joanne Evans applied to register the following trade mark for goods and services in Classes 32 and 33: Lord Nelson The application was published for opposition purposes on 2 February 2018. During the course of these proceedings an amendment to the specification in Class 32 was accepted, so that the specification of the opposed mark in Classes 32 and 33 now stands as shown in the Annex to this decision. 2) The application is opposed by Heaven Hill Distilleries, Inc. (“the Opponent”). The opposition, which is directed against all the goods applied for, is based upon section 5(2)(b) of the Trade Marks Act 1994 (“the Act”), for the purposes of which the Opponent relies upon the following EU trade mark registrations for the following respective marks and goods: EU 16756652 ADMIRAL NELSON’S Class 33: Spirits; rum. EU 14329254 2 Class 33: Spirits; rum. 3) EU 16756652 was filed on 22 May 2017 and registered on 5 September 2017. EU 14329254 was filed on 02 July 2015 and registered on 15 October 2015. The significance of these respective dates is that (1) both the Opponent’s marks constitute earlier marks in accordance with section 6 of the Act, and (2) they are not subject to the proof of use conditions contained in section 6A of the Act, their respective registration procedures having been completed less than five years before the publication of the Applicant’s mark.

Bookhouse Brewing (Ohio) Celestial Map 16oz Nonic $6.50 IPA - American / 7.3% ABV / 60 IBU / Cleveland, OH 10oz Nonic $4.00 Our mainstay IPA takes a "big tent" approach to style: enough malt to provide balance, as is the wont of the Midwestern IPA; hop bitterness and 5oz Taster $2.50 flavor in the tradition of the West Coast IPA; huge dry-hopping-derived aroma in the tradition of New England IPA. So you could say it's a real "map 64oz Growler Refill $18.00 of the stars," of the IPA world. Made with Nugget, Simcoe, and Centennial hops, the hop aroma explodes from the glass with pine, citrus, and herbal intensity.

Deep russet in color, there's an argument to be made that this might be more of a Belgian amber 64oz Growler Refill $15.00 ale, even though that's not really a thing. Or is it?

  • Menu Generator & Drop Table
    Menu Generator & Drop Table Sample file Suitable for use with any Fantasy RPG Introduction: While my original intention was just to put out a “quick” drop table for generating decent enough menus that your players might encounter at a local establishment, it occurred to me that what one GM might find useful, the next would find abhorrently complex and the next not nearly complex enough. I like the idea of giving GM useful tools that can flex to meet their needs. To this end the drop table is a bit multi-purpose and if you would rather not print the table, a series of printer-friendly tables are included as part of this product. I’ve also added some blank space at the end of each table so you can feel free to add your own entries. If your players are adventuring in an area with a certain set of specialties, why wouldn’t the local menus reflect this? When possible I tried to use more modern equivalents for certain items, but there is a richness in the old names for some dishes I couldn’t mess with. So things make sense I’ve also included a small list of definitions to help you explain the food to your players. In case you happen to be interested, some of these dishes can be made in the modern era. If you want to try this I can recommend three sites for medieval recipes: The Gode Cookery, Medieval Cookery, and Celtnet. Sample file -Christopher Stogdill AKA the Frugal GM Directions for Use: Drop Table: Either roll a 1d20 to indicate a pre-made menu, or roll five different-sized dice.

  • Association of Brewers' Beer Style Guidelines
    Brewers Association 2013 Beer Style Guidelines February 28, 2013 Compiled for the Brewers Association by Charlie Papazian, copyright: 1993 through and including 2013. With Style Guideline Committee assistance and review by Paul Gatza, Chris Swersey and suggestions from Great American Beer Festival and World Beer Cup judges. Since 1979 the Brewers Association has provided beer style descriptions as a reference for brewers and beer competition organizers. Much of the early work was based on the assistance and contributions of beer journalist Michael Jackson. The task of creating a realistic set of guidelines is always complex. The beer style guidelines developed by the Brewers Association use sources from the commercial brewing industry, beer analyses, and consultations with beer industry experts and knowledgeable beer enthusiasts as resources for information. The Brewers Association' beer style guidelines reflect, as much as possible, historical significance, authenticity or a high profile in the current commercial beer market. Often, the historical significance is not clear, or a new beer in a current market may be only a passing fad, and thus, quickly forgotten. For these reasons, the addition of a style or the modification of an existing one is not undertaken lightly and is the product of research, consultation and consideration of market actualities, and may take place over a period of time. Another factor considered is that current commercial examples do not always fit well into the historical record, and instead represent a modern version of the style. Our decision to include a particular historical beer style takes into consideration the style's brewing traditions and the need to preserve those traditions in today's market.
