Aperol is part of the Campari group, which has subjected a decent guy, Steve, from the North East to a long court case for wanting to call his village microbrewery beer ‘’Dark Sky”.

(Campari produces a “Skyy” vodka and claimed people could be confused).

Also imo Aperol tastes grim unless you are on holiday, but that’s not the main reason here).

Here is Steve:

Who DO these companies think they are?

I suggest boycotting Aperol as no one under 85 yrs drinks Campari anyway.

Village microbrewery wins battle with drinks giant over its name

Regulators throw out Campari’s claim that retired police officer’s beers could be confused with its vodka brand
