Anheuser-Busch Sues UK’s Belleville Brewing Over Their Belle-Vue Brand

From the Daily Mail UK:

With just £1,000 in the bank and one part-time employee, the Belleville Brewing Company is hardly in a position to threaten the global dominance of the world’s biggest drinks producer.

But Anheuser-Busch, the powerful US corporation which numbers Budweiser among its brands, apparently thinks otherwise. 

Lawyers acting on its behalf have written to the group of parents who run Belleville demanding that they drop the name or else face court action which could bankrupt them with legal fees. The US giant claims that customers could confuse Belleville’s ales and its own fruit-flavoured Belle-Vue beer.
