Flying Dog’s Raging Bitch. Michigan doesn’t like it. “Nevertheless, Plaintiff, Flying Dog
Brewery, LLLP, (Flying Dog) insists on unleashing its "Raging Bitch" on Michigan's public well
before a proper determination of this case. Consistent with the plea for release on its label,
Flying Dog wants the Court to jump ahead of deliberate analysis in this case and rush to grant it
relief. But a matter as weighty as this must be handled in a restrained, thoughtful manner. A
preliminary injunction here would inflict this detrimental and admittedly inflammatory2 language
on captive audiences throughout Michigan, a harm that cannot be undone.” long brief
