Good news from Morrisville. According to VPR, the bullies who make Monster Energy Drink have agreed to stop hassling local heroes Rock Art for their Vermonster brew.

Vermontster president Matt Nadeau is cautious about spelling out the agreement before getting instructions from his attorney. 

But he will say that Monster has agreed to withdraw its cease and desist letter, provided that Vermontster doesn't try to break in to the ‘energy drink' market.

Here's what Rock Art says on their web page:

America You have saved
THE VERMONSTER  !!

Your voice has caused corporate america to rethink its position

POWER to the PEOPLE
POWER belongs to the people

 Given that one or two of us around GMD have been known to sample an adult beverage, this is great news for the locals, and another victory over the big corporations.

We can think of no more appropriate way to celebrate than to go out and hoist a Vermonster at your nearest local pub.

In related news, the manufacturers of  Monster energy drink sugar/caffeine punch have also agreed to drop cease and desist letters directed to employment placement service Monster.com, the Green Monster at Fenway Park, and the Loch Ness Monster. Nessie was unavailable for comment.
