Best and Worst Named Beers

It's brewed with dirt and wolf hair.

"Dude, there is so much wolf hair in our apartment right now."

 

Against the Grain has some of the most awesome names ever.

Mad Maxwell: Beyond Value, a porter made with Maxwell coffee
Raucho Man Randy Beverage, a rauchbier
Oats & Hose, an oatmeal stout
Great Big Kentucky Sausage Fest
Tickle Me Ale-mo

 

Have to think this through..but it seems to me that creative beer names are analogous to hot sauce names......anyone who's into hot sauces knows what I mean!

 

OK, I'll admit that Stupid Sexy Flanders amuses me to no end.

 

oh god. thats actually a beer name?

 

Pipeworks new one Hey, Careful Man, There's A Beverage Here: White Russian Imperial Stout with Vanilla Bean, Cacao Nibs and Ipsento Coffee added, is a new personal favorite.

 

Pipeworks abides.

 

I surprised by all the folks saying ZD is a good name. I think it's stupid and if I didn't know any better, would probably never had tried it based on the cheesy label and stupid name.

And this is coming from a FFF homer and ZD is my favorite beer.

 

Have to agree... Great beer, but not a fan of the name.

 

Personally I thought the blaeber was good enough that they got away naming it that. I definitely agree they could have come up with something less corny but I thought the label was kinda funny.

 

I don't like anything that's embarrassing to ask for at the bar. Beers should have names of the "Surname's Beer Style" variety.

 

Revolver Blood and Honey...I have friends and family that don't want to drink it because of the word "blood", oh well, more for me!

 

Hey! I thought that was one of the best! I wouldn't mind a trend of boy bands of yesteryear brewing their own beer:

Backstreet Boys - Quit Playin Games With My Hops
Boyz II Men - It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to IPAs
98 Degrees - I Brew
N'Sync - Rye Rye Rye

 

Can you drink 7 of them without getting a buzz?

 

Best: I think Stone's "ENJOY BY...xx/xx/xxxx is revolutionary and balsy. That is what experienced hop heads have been asking from breweries and Stone delivered as blunt as can be to ensure freshness.

Terrapin's Wake and Bake until the name got banned. But a banned name just makes it more legendary.

Worst...everyone is bashing the new DirtWolf by Victory. I read the hop vine description and that is just stupid.

 

Best : SkullSplitter

Worst - I refuse to drink anything called Vas Deferens

 

Hill Farmstead beers have so many awesome names. Those guys are like Harvard English grads with their label descriptions and titles and such. I certainly can't write nearly as eloquently (did I spell that wight?) :-)

 

I'm a big fan of the Enjoy By: names too. Simple and too the point, but immediately recognizable and super classy. Plus it doesn't sound like a heavy metal band (not that that's bad...it's just a ridiculous trend in craft brewing).

 

None of the beers from Dirty Bucket Brewing Company sound particularly appetizing.

Best? I like what Unibroue's doing. La Fin Du Monde, Maudite, Trois Pistoles, Don De Dieu, Eau Benite, Blanche De Chambly.... Kind of makes me want to catch the next plane to Quebec.

 

I thought Ska's Modus Hoperandi was clever. I also thought Justin Blaeber was pretty lame for a beer name.
