Moose Knuckle Maibock... That is pure awesome.

 

i can't believe it took 87 posts before someone brought up the merkin!

 

I enjoy the dogfish head titles, because although they are crazy' the titles pretty much tell you what it is (feista peach, Indian Brown ale etc).

Least favorite: Flying dog pearl necklace. Tasty oyster stout, but I do blush when I order it from a bar.

 

Bukakke and Gokkun are clear winnners. Why on God's green Earth would you name your beer this AND more importantly what makes you think anyone (other than those involved in this type of activity) would consider drinking it? It's not really making my mouth water...

 

Umm, when and where is this banned? It's still showing on their website...

Best: Permanent Funeral/Skull Splitter
Worst: Vas Deferens

I love beer names that play on the theme of death and darkness. Always attracted by 'em.

sure you can say whatever you want on the website but the label on the bottle no longer says Wake n Bake as the full title. They were forced to WnB Coffee Oatmeal Imperial Stout. Sort of like MD 20/20 on the label but the world of college kids and winos knows it as Mad Dog.

 

I can't believe that you actually counted them...

 

It tells you to the right in the post what # your at !!

 

BEST: On The Wings of Armegeddon
WORST: Horse Piss Beer

 

Good Names:
Nippletop Milk Stout
Zombie Dust
Arctic Panzer Wolf
Marshall Zhukov's Imperial Stout

Bad Names:
Southern Tier IPA (good beer, but boring name)

 

Best............Raging Bitch Belgian-Style IPA, Smash Bomb, and my favorite.......Badonk-A-Dunkel
Worst..........Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout, Donkey Punch, Budweiser.

 

I like the name Nipple Top too. It is named after Nipple Top mountain.

 

Never tried the beer, but Cigar City's Sea Bass just sounds about as unappetizing as can be...and the label doesn't help.

I rather like Stone's new beer name, Southern Charred.

 

Yeah, I just climbed it this summer as part of my 46'er Adirondack High Peaks

 

This thread has made me realize, with a thud of realization, that are there are some EPICALLY bad names in brewing. {Shudder}. A bit of personality in a name is OK, and if it's done right it's something where both a brewery fan will see a connection and a shelf-browser might be interested. Failing that, too gonzo a name just seems, to me, like the mark of someone who's going to be weeded out of a crowded marketplace.

 

Aardwolf Brewing: Hasselhoffenweisse, Eastbound & Brown, Dubbel Impact

Worst: anything with a hop pun...

 

RUN B.M.C is a awesome name!
