A Norfolk micro brewery has been told it must change its name or face legal action, because it sounds too similar to the energy drink Red Bull. Redwell brewery, which employs just eight people in Norwich, has been told by the firm its name could "confuse" customers and "tarnish" its trademark. Red Bull put the frighteners on! Maybe they want the brewery out of the way before Kimi arrives?

That is disgusting. Another reason to hate Red Bull. What a bunch of bullies. |

Good work U4. Good article. This is going to be a major back lash for Red Bull I think. Austrians are not generally liked or considered warm folks. Vettel in F1 has become disliked though that is an aside. It does contribute. One cannot speculate that if they run everything the way they conduct themselves in what we see, then lots of constituencies around the globe have reservations. This is also the sort of thing that every employee of anything having anything to do with Red Bull will be confronted with. Adrian and Christian will no doubt be asked about this, particularly given that RBR is run out of the UK. |

Neither do I but these multi national companies ride rough-shod over smaller companies, which let's face it are no threat to them whatsoever. How the hell can a company like Redwell be a threat to a brand like Red Bull. Now, Redwell aren't too far from Hethel, so if a suitable sponsor could be found maybe with a lot of development Redwell F1 could stuff Red Bull right where they belong! ![]() PS..Nice one Greg |

Actually, I think Mark Webber going to Redwell F1 is a good rumour to start!

Sounds to me like Red Bull gave some money to Redwell in exchange for non-disclosure of the deal. Red Bull are skating around trying to save face, but a disastrous PR exercise for Red Bull. No doubt will cost them. The big winner is Redwell. All that free publicity and maybe 300,000 purchases to come out of sympathy. Someone should start a new drink called "Reddish Bully" and the logo should be the embarrassed looking face of Dietrich. See a little red on the cheeks. Mad Max type cartoonish character perhaps. |

It could work, thinking more about it. Much like the success of the Monica Lewinsky cigars that were so popular for a while. Red Bull would probably pay big bucks to get that one out of the way. |

I remember the Whisky company I worked for were VERY worried about Red Bull getting upset about the Whisky they had called Black Bull. In this case the Whisky name was taken from the rights they had back in the early 1900's so it was not a problem. |

I just sent the following email content to Redwell Breweries. As it turns out they have a hot sauce as well. Perfect.
