Bothell brewery puts Cease &Desist on tap again
Foggy Noggin Brewing’s Cease &Desist IPA, formerly known as 12th Man Skittles IPA, was so popular last year that the Bothell-based brewery will now be offering it all season long. The brewery originally named the batch the 12th Man Skittles IPA, but Texas A&M, which trademarks the ‘12th man’ term, sent a cease and desist order. Foggy Noggin released the beer into the market at three locations — HopVine Pub, Latona Pub and Fiddler’s Inn — in time for kick-off of the Seahawks season opener.
