Calhoun’s has to change it’s name because a Tennessee company also has a restaurant called Calhoun’s.
Apparently Copper Cellar claims damage to it’s company name because Calhoun’s was winning gold medals for its beer, and they don’t want people to think that they have good beer.

heh, nut browns and nachos alike.. that definitely constitutes cybersquatting.
David Troyer:
Two nut browns and an order of nachos are likely to cost less than the domain itself originally would have from a registrar. Personally, I think that hardly constitutes cybersquatting of any sort.
Hburg beer lover, I agree that the price for the web site is very reasonable but it’s going to be a while till we have any nut brown.
Tim:
There are actually a couple of us who have posted as HBL. I’ll risk speaking for the other guy, the one who actually registered the domain.
Just in case anyone missed the point, the domain registration and the content on the website was not about cybersquatting or trying to make a profit off of the name change. The primary intent was to let Calhoun’s management know of our opinion about the name change, in a humourous way.
If Calhoun’s is going ahead with “Cally’s” anyway, and if they should happen to want the domain that my friend registered, he’s not going to stand in the way of that. The email listed on the website is real. He can be contacted there, but we’re not interested in giving the domain to anyone besides Calhoun’s / Cally’s.

p.s. He really likes nachos, but I think Smokin’ Scottish could be an acceptable substitute for the Nut Browns.
p.p.s. The nachos and beer suggestion was indeed chosen to be roughly equal to the cost of domain registration.
p.p.p.s. We ordered a lot more than that in 20 minutes last night. BTW, the Bad Dog and Ellery’s Apricot are delicious, as well.
hehehe… I was just giving you all a hard time about the cyber-squatting…
personally my current favorite at calhoun’s is the ESB…
If you want a real beer experience swing by the wine shop for some 120 minute :-)
I’m with HBL: nut brown is my favorite.
I know that Mike has seen your message on the domain name, HBL. You may also be able to get some old glasses out of the deal.
Calhoun’s in Knoxville is actually owned by one man and is not a big bullying corporate gone amouck.
oh, me. I love you guys. all of you. well, the ones I know, at least. which number more than you are aware. (note to self: stop here, for god’s sake.)
2 beers in 20 minutes was not not a good time, though I was glad to be sitting on the aisle.
Spambot or drunkest hburgnews poster ever? You decide.
