A Toronto-based brewery is in hot water with one of Canadas most beloved bands.

The Tragically Hip has announced a lawsuit against Mill Street Brewery, alleging that the company produced and marketed a Hip-inspired beer called 100th Meridian without the bands permission.

We tried to sort it out with Mill Street for months but were unsuccessful. They didnt take us seriously and were frankly disrespectful, the band wrote in a letter to fans.

We have been around for a long time, and have always been able to work things like this out without a lawsuit. Unfortunately, not this time. We took this step to clear up any confusion once and for all.
