Bleacher Bum Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 I figured some more people that just myself might be interested in this. Since I originally heard Roo Brew would be out in April, I e-mailed Thirsty Dog and asked when we'd be able to get it. Here's the response:"We are ready to brew and have done a couple of test batches that have been used for events sponsored by the guys we are contract brewing it for. They are waiting for some licensing issues with the state to be finished and should have itdone in June to start selling the product before tailgaiting."

I wasn't impressed with the beer. Not sure if it was their IPA or not. I usually like IPA's. Hoppin Frog has an amazing IPA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ziptrader Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I had Roo Brew at an ARCHAngels meeting at the Martin center a few months ago. I know the gentleman from the U of A working on this project and they are very excited and proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottditzen Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Strange....I've never read anywhere that the University was even involved at all with Roo Brew. I just assumed the school would be looking the other way with any legal "confusion in the marketplace" over consumers mistaking that the School was sponsoring the beer.If a school can show that an average consumer could mistake the Roo Brew as being a school sponsored product ie similar logo, same colors, etc. the U could legally block Thirsty Dog from selling it. However if the school IS involved, or simply grants permission for similar logo, school colors, etc. then no problemo. I had Roo Brew at an ARCHAngels meeting at the Martin center a few months ago.

Hell, I go to the hardware store and I can buy OSU flip flops The folks at UofA are probably celebrating that someone actually thinks about UofA enough to even consider putting a Kangaroo on their beer!

I find it odd when I can buy a Lowes gift card in line that has OSU, OU and BG logos on them, but not Akron...IN AKRON!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottditzen Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I'm constantly asking people in stores in ne ohio if/when they will have any Akron gear. We have the best logo in college sports and we can't find anything, anywhere. You're giving the folks at UA too much credit. Akron isn't the merchandising Giant that OSU is.
