    I think DFH comes up with some awesome names, especially with their ancient selection, but as far as just "cool names" I would say mama's little yella pils, Resin, or OTWOA.

    I don't have a worst

    I've always been a fan of the "Old" barleywine names - particularly Old Ruffian and Old Horizontal.

    The label is terrible, too.. I feel homoerotic just looking at that bottle.. I can't imagine drinking liquid that came out of it.

    I was actually referring to the liquid inside :grinning: ...was not a fan! The name seems ridiculous, but I couldn't say its the worst...and the label...yeah a little out there. Freakish maybe?

    Not the worst by far (Vas Deferens and Golden Shower are both awesome nominees for that title) but how do you guys feel about the name Dirtwolf. Without reading Victory's description of why they called the beer Dirtwolf, I can't help but imagine that the beer is bottled with dirt in it. I never would have thought that it was a reference to hop vines.

    To save you guys the trouble, Victory provides this description for the beer:
    "Darkly heroic, Humulus Lupulus (hops) have empowered brews with bite and character since the 11th century. DirtWolf is a tribute to these untamed vines which rise from the earth with the voracity of a “wolf among sheep.” Hops have made an assertive comeback in American craft brewing. Revel in the best U.S. varieties of hops, in their natural, whole flower form, as they bring a vital, pungent reality to the soul of a wild element in our dangerously satisfying DirtWolf Double IPA."
