Brewery Sues Over Best Idea Ever

An Ohio brewery is suing a former employee, claiming he stole their formula for making healthy beer!
Click to launch!
Brewmandu Brewery alleges that Brian Lottig jacked the idea of selling a beer that's good for you -- and took it to establish his own "The Lion Brewery." According to documents, the brewery spent 10 years in research and development on a beer that has "vitamins and nutrients to protect the liver and offer increased nutritional content to combat the negative effects of alcohol consumption." Let's drink to that!

Looks like we'll have to wait for this wonderful product until the next Super Bowl.

This is not an "Exclusive."

As with many, many TMZ stories, this piece was swiped from the Courthouse News web site, where it was first published this morning at 9:30 est. It was an exclusive then on that site. Not now.

TMZ steals a story a day from Courthouse News. Sometimes two. And this is no exaggeration. For example, this week TMZ lifted stories about lawsuits involving Donald Trump and R. Kelly.

This is really sleazy stuff. I'm sure that this post will be removed minutes after I submit it. So I'll make sure to screen grab it and forward it to some sites that might blow the whistle on this blatant (and repeated) theft.

You're probably right Luda. Beer isn't supposed to be healthy.

Selling a beer that's good for you? A beer that has vitamins and nutrients to protect the liver and offer increased nutritional content to combat the negative effects of alcohol consumption? That's a great idea! Why don't they also add some other products in the beer that keeps someone from driving a car, while intoxicated, and crashing into another car and killing the driver and passengers of that car?

The darker the beer/ale, the more B vitamins. Ascorbic acid is used to kill the yeast. That;s vitamin C. You don't get calories from the carbs in beer...

It's the alcohol.

Who's zoomin' who???

TMZ steals stories? Opps! Another lawsuit...
