By Oliver SmithBusiness reporter, BBC News
The London pub chain The Craft Beer Co. has accused Marks & Spencer of " ripping off" its trademark name on a new T-shirt produced by the retailer.
The T-shirt has the " Craft Beer Co. " name in a graphic on The Front and back.
In a description on its website, M& S says " the St Michael Brewery-themed graphics on the back and chest add a distinctive theme".
Marks & Spencer has been approached for comment.
In a on Thursday morning, the pub chain asked the retailer " what's the idea with these T-shirts!? "
" Can we expect a royalties cheque in The Post !? " The Company wrote, adding: " Surely one Iconic British Institution shouldn't be ripping off another…. !!"
In a further tweet The Company Said : " It really is hard To Believe in 2023 such things can be signed off by someone at huge PLC".
The Craft Beer Co. was Set Up in Clerkenwell in 2011 by friends Martin Hayes and Peter Slezak, and now operates seven pubs in London And One in Brighton.
Speaking to The Bbc , Mr Hayes Said they were alerted to the T-shirt when a punter mentioned it to one of their bar staff on Wednesday.
" I'm not angry about it, but it is a little annoying, " He Said .
" I've got a lot of respect for M& S. It's an iconic British business and I think somebody's just made a bit of a boo boo really, but I'm sure it will be sorted out, " he added.
Mr Hayes Said his company was not planning to take any legal action.
" We're a relatively Small Business so I don't think we'll be taking on a PLC. This isn't Aldi versus Marks and Spencer, " He Said .

Mr Hayes Said he was pretty sure M& S would withdraw the T-shirt in any case, calling some of the language used in the graphic sexist.
One of the lines reads: " Proper good Beer . . for proper good blokes" which received an angry response on Twitter.
" So only 'proper blokes' can enjoy Beer ? It's 2023! " Said one.
" It's really awful wording, very sexist, " Said Mr Hayes. " It's hard To Believe anything like that could be put on a T-shirt These Days .
" Our pubs are very inclusive. We've always championed Beer , and it's for everybody.
" I can see online that a lot of people are upset about it, and I feel bad About That . I think it reflects really badly on M& S. "
Mr Hayes Said one of their pubs was located very near to the M& S headquarters in Paddington in Central London and Said a team from The Company had a booking for this evening.
" I'm not sure if they'll come now, but if they do come, they can rest assured they'll be treated as well as always, " He Said .
