Extending Beer Name Lengths

I disagree. Breweries should keep this shit in check. Names are becoming too wordy.
To wit: Burial Beer in Asheville is releasing 3 beers this weekend.
-A Mortal Error of Mirrors French 75 Petit Sour Ale
-A Future Filled of Broken Thoughts Hurricane Sour Ale
-A Glimpse of Paradise Bananas Foster Bourbon Barrel Aged Belgian-style Tripel

I for one think that's pretty ridiculous.

 

I don't mind the long names, was a faze in music scene for awhile when bands made song titles long as books and nowhere relevant to the subject matter of the song. I found that amusing and this the same.

But we may have you beat here in GA, I saw this and was like "wait... what?":

 

Being a beer poet, I love these names. If I could try them, so I could write about them, I would in a heartbeat.

 

As a rabid Pink Floyd fan, it would be intellectually dishonest if I complained about long beer names when I enjoy little ditties like this;

"Several Species of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together in a Cave and Grooving with a Pict"

But seriously, brewers stake their money and reputation on what they produce and how it's packaged and presented to the public. I think they should be able to sink or swim with all their decisions, ridiculous or otherwise. I'll never buy an Against the Grain beer simply because of their Brown Note offering, yet i'd never suggest that they haven't a right to name and package it as such. On the flip side, I seriously doubt they are losing sleep over my avoidance...

For this issue in particular, the notes can contain the entire name, as to provide distinction between variants, if need be. The name block itself is really up to whomever ads it. Abbreviate, use acronyms, maybe use first"x" number of words, whatever. Just make certain the whole name is in the notes.

 

I think Tired Hands is guilty here. Haha.
