Naming your beers: Your favourite names and worst/best puns.

[SimonG]

Great label Bullfrog!
I'll have to print some up of these up to stick on the bottles when I get around to making up a batch.

[Fifey]

I like the labels. I've got acouple of ideas for my own if I ever get around to labelling, but I haven't got photoshop currently.

[bullfrog]

Bah, photoshop is for amateurs. MSpaint is what you need!

[drunkpaul]

i love some of chris' names. cant wait to get a batch done so i can try it and start thinking of my own.

[Geoff]

I've brewed up a few:

No. 41 Bockin' Good Beer
No. 78 Sweet Geordie Brown
No. 94 Enter the Dragon Stout

Nothing to rival Nat King Cole Porter, though.

I think we have settled on the name of this new oatmeal stout on tap....'Cereal Offender' Not a bad drop, not as thick and full on as most stouts but then again I don't like a lot of them. Its a stout I'll drink and not too over the top for summer. You can really taste the oatmeal in this

[earle]

You could also go with "Cereal Killer"

Geoff,

I don't see any mention in this list of your greatest beer name, "Labia Lager"

Sorry if that's TMI for anyone

Oliver

[Bum]

Wild yeast infection?

[SuperBroo]

"Helicopter Bill"
for a JSAA with Chinook and Williamette hops

[earle]

I always thought Golden Armadillo would be a good name for a JSGA clone.

[Geoff]

Got myself into a flap about it.

[chadjaja]

I have Thrush on tap and our Armadildo was already shorted to Dildo. does that count?

Thought about cereal killer and that cartoon

[Sonny]

"BUMP"

Hey check out what I found, I thought I remembered thread this when I first pulled up a stool at this bar.

Mine are called No. 1 through to No.32 at present.
Nos 33-35 should be down by Sunday night I hope.

I have named one, that's No.31 'Sonny's Anniversary Ale'.
Because it will be ready to drink come September and 12mths since I began brewing.

You guy's, how's your names going now?

[Oliver]

Geoff and I brewed a stout together (what would these days be called a "collaboration", probably), in part to defray the cost. It is so strong and meaty that we dubbed it wrist-thick stout.

No.19 Imperial Stout (Wrist-Thick Stout)
6kg liquid black malt
1kg liquid light malt
850g crystal malt
330g roast malt
270g chocolate malt
180g roast barley
2 dessertspoons calcium carbonate (!!)
150g Pride of Ringwood hop flowers (9.5%AA)
20g Progress hop pellets (6%AA)

OG: 1089 FG: 1031 ALC/VOL: 8.2 %

It was bottled in March 1998 and we still have a few bottles left. Still drinking nicely, too.

I've been wanting to make that since the day I discovered your website! (which I still reckon is awesome, by the way) I was never sure if "liquid black malt" should say liquid dark malt, though?

I made a copy of Geoff's no. 94 Enter the Dragon Stout, but since I used molasses sugar instead of dark brown sugar I saw fit to call it Enter the Wyvern Stout. Is that lame or what...?

[Oliver]

I was never sure if "liquid black malt" should say liquid dark malt, though?

Yep, that'd be it. If I was making this again and with the benefit of hindsight and greater general brewing knowledge, I'd probably bitter with something other than PoR, round the grain amounts up to the nearest 50g and drop the calcium carbonate. The Coopers yeast seemed to work OK, but given the high OG I'd be tempted to go with a liquid yeast that can chew through all those sugars. Plus, you then won't have to worry about the red wine yeast

I've heard worse

Thanks mate.

A recent brew killed my hydrometer (filled the test tube with wort thatvwas a bit too warm and it ended up in a banana shape,) killed my urn (it died between mash and boil meaning I had to drain off into three stockpots to put on the stove,) caused three simultaneous boil-overs (whilst my attention was on fixing the urn,) then once kegged, emptied my CO2 canister. It's an English Special Bitter which is now known as "The Battle Of Britain."

Man, that brew just didn't want to be made. It better have turned out to be a cracker after that effort!

What brand was your urn?
