Moonlight brewing should rename to Death & Taxes ( unless taken).  A much more memorable name. The first time I ordered that beer was purely base on the name.

Oh right people from North Coast CA never visit New Hampshire. ;)

Not sure if serious, but my point is that Moonlight Meadery is a licensed winery in NH which makes wine from honey and other fruits or spices and is available in a lot of the continental US.  They have a coexistence agreement with Moonlight Brewing in CA which makes beer and is available in a relatively small footprint in CA (unless Lagunitas plans to change that).  Hidden Moon Brewing is an entity which will eventually contract brew beers within NH.  I'm not sure how even someone visiting from NorCal would get confused.

It was tongue in cheek. I even used s wonky face. ;)

It was funny that the whole thread was defending Michael using the argument that there would be no confusion, only to have a recent post where one of his defenders mentions how confusing it is.

My post was also tongue in cheek, and mostly pointed out that I confused the Hidden Moon name with being a cidery, not that I was confused about the brewery in CA.

Funny stuff.   :)  Not sure if smiley faces save lives though. Doubt it.
