THIS WEEK IN COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT: ENO’S PIZZA TAVERN
UPDATE 4/13/2011 :: We’re working together with Eno’s to refresh their logo. All is well. No suits necessary.
It appears that Eno’s Pizza Tavern in Dallas, TX exhausted a great amount of energy and resources to develop an original logo for their business. Or perhaps they were drinking a bottle of Brooklyn beer and noticed that reflected in a mirror, a backwards B resembles an E? Either way, those smoke and mirrors don’t fool us!
A HEAPING TABLESPOON OF PRAISE FOR LOCAL 1
While we’ve never come right out and said that Brooklyn Local 1 is our version of the Belgian Saison, we’re certainly not going to argue with America’s cocktail expert David Wondrich. And certainly not while he’s saying things like “(Local 1) could be the most elegant beer ever made.”
In this recent run-down for Esquire, Wondrich, who consulted on the creation of the much buzzed-about Brooklyn Manhattan Project, lists his favorite Saisons of the moment.
