Alchemy GastroPub gets grief on Facebook from angry Vermonters over stolen logo
It seems that during the last month there have been thirtysomething 1 star reviews left on the Alchemy Facebook page from commenters in Vermont (Note: Vermont is a backwards, insignificant state located in the Northeastern U.S.)
Why are people in Vermont dissing on Alchemy GastroPub? Apparently, these negative reviews have been left by supporters of the Alchemist Pub and Brewery, which is supposedly a "famous" microbrewery in Vermont. The commenters claim that Alchemy GastroPub, Phnom Penh stole the name and especially the logo of Alchemist Pub and Brewery, Vermont.
Here's a sample of the angry one star reviews left on the Alchemy GastroPub Facebook page :
Do these maple syrup swilling, Birkenstocks-wearing keyboard warriors in Vermont have a point? Has the logo of their favorite Vermont brewery been "stolen" by a thief?
Here's the logo of Alchemist Pub and Brewery in Vermont, which includes an image of some kind of candle or bunson burner or a guy in a hood whatever that thing is:
Seriously, what is that thing?
And here's a photo of the entrance to Alchemy GastroPub Phnom Penh:
Well that's hard to argue with. I suppose Alchemy GastroPub could have responded by saying "So what? Of course we ripped off that fucking artwork. We're in Cambodia. Copyright infringement is a national pastime here."
I mean, after all, one of Alchemy's owners is actually from Vermont, where he was convicted back in 1994 for lewd and lascivious conduct with an unwilling 14 year-old girl.
Alchemy's ownership wouldn't possibly claim that this Alchemist/Alchemy logo theft was some kind of mistake that they were unaware of, would they?
Oh right, that's exactly what Alchemy claims:

Even if they have a case, those Vermonters sound like a bunch of infantile snowfalke trendy beard twats.

Seriously, of all logos to steal. The name, ok fine, but that logo? I wish the first angry Vermonter had simply said "hey cool logo guys, what does it represent?", waited for a reply, and then come out with the fury and smack down.gavinmac wrote:Here's the logo of Alchemist Pub and Brewery in Vermont, which includes an image of some kind of candle or bunson burner or a guy in a hood whatever that thing is:
Oh, and I just saw that those posts were from almost a month ago. Has anything changed since then?

Storm in a coffee cup.
Obviously they will sue over the huge financial losses they have incurred...let's see 4 deconstructed lattes, @ $4 each, plus VAT plus service charge, plus bitching tax, plus man-bun maintenance...emotional damage to fisherman's pants
Damn, about a week's salary for me.

Well spotted, the original symbol seems to be like this:Jamie_Lambo wrote:its an artists interpretation of the Alchemy Symbol for fermentation, its not an exact copy but an artists interpretation
So it's been changed significantly.

Good point, I didn't know either but a quick Google search reveals many representations which are similar to both. Anyways, I doubt the owner of the hipster joint here didn't know about the name and logo of the hipster joint back home. Either way, it's not like they can do anything about it.
I suppose it's also possible the owner just hired a friend back in Vermont to make a logo for him and that guy just copied it but whatever, any hipster war is good as it means they kill their own.
The real question is: will PTSD Kiwi and Ricecakes keep frequenting the place knowing that it has possibly ripped off the logo from another company?

Ah so he is merely splenetic rather than a paid character assassin?
I thought perhaps he was a retired navy seal or Military Police.
He seems to have a vendetta against this brooklyn pizza guy.
Too many or not enough Anchovies Gav?
Sure, you made the point at every opportunity he has conviction(s).
But it is not only nonces you target as worthy of exposure.
Is this a paid gig for you, or do you just get off on exposing evildoers to make you feel better about yourself?
Is that why they ditched you as a mod?
Have you accepted Jesus as your personal saviour?
You should probably find a nice cashier and settle down.
You could probably go to work for the big regional Law firm affiliated with DC and HE.
If you were any good, that is.They must employ some low level dirt diggers.
Hey maybe be like Dog the Bounty hunter.
You could run bargirl PI and vetting service too.
I think you are qualified for that.
why would I think this?
Because you constantly tell us so.
But you have all that biz in the Stans and oonga boonga lands where you take the air and sights.
Must be very fulfilling defending Freedom as you do.
I would sack you as a leaker if you worked for me.

It was until he became a mod that he was funny. After that he set about deleting anything funny by people funnier than him, such as the lamented Bonez.violet wrote:Before your time, but gavinmac was a mod.....and found his wings after standing down.Taa Moan wrote:Gavinmac, who pays you for these witch finding duties?
