It has been an interesting week. We saw a Chinese car company copying the true American Ford F150 and Chevy Silverado Colorado. This one however, beats all. Here we have a Chinese beer brand from the great city of Jingzhou in Hubei Province called ‘Jeep Beer’ (吉普啤酒). ‘USA Jeep Group Limited’, a pic of a Jeep, ‘Jeep’s Premium Quality Beer’, and ‘Just for Man’.

Stealing Jeep-things for beer is really bad, but what really pisses me off is that they also copied the famous tilted ‘e’, the red star, and the label’s overall design from the great beermaker Heineken from the Netherlands, My Home Country! That ‘e’ alone has been copyrighted a zillion times!

The full name of the company is ‘Hubei Jeep Brewery Corporation’, established only in 2010. I never heard of them before and I have been drinking a lotta beer in the seven long years I have been in China. Guess I have to go to Hubei to taste me a Jeep.

They introduce themselves on their website with a brilliant piece o’ work. Translated by Google but you’ll get the point:
