    So this is going to sound odd, but I'm having my leg amputated in August and I'm holding a going away party for it. Long story short this is a good thing as terrible as it sounds, so I wanted some funny tongue in cheek beers to go along with the theme of them party.

    I found plenty of pirate themed ones but nothing quite fits the bill - even though I I'm going to make one hell of pirate come Halloween. If you know of anything I'd really appreciate the suggests.

    Man, the closest thing I can think off the top of my head was Saxer's Three Fingered Jack...but Saxer's been gone for a long time now.

    We've got a Big Stump Brewing here in Sacramento. None of the beers are specifically amputation themed (and the name itself is more arbor-based), but maybe that's thematically closer?

    All the best to you. I applaud your good humor!

    Heavy Seas has a beer called peg-leg something or other. I think it's a stout. I have no idea if that's in your distro since you didn't note your location.

    Good luck with the surgery!

    Heavy Seas Beer Peg leg - its an Imperial Stout, 8% abv, 30 IBU.
    3 Guys and a Beer'd Brewing Company has dead finger ale.
    Unibroue has La Fin Du Monde (end of the world), Maudite (the damned)
    Mort Subite is named after a card game named sudden death
    Baker Beer Project had One Leg Tammy
    You might also consider three fingers Canadian Whiskey and Two fingers tequila

    Think Thirsty Dog makes a stout or brown ale called "Old Leg Humper"
    Also Drekker makes a "Phantom Hand" but that really doesnt apply to you... :confused::thinking_face:

    Yeah, I was in an accident about five years ago while cycling, some jerk sabotaged the bike trail and I turned my ankle into gravel (among other things, the ankle is the one thing that just didn't want to heal). Did about five years of limb salvage surgery but it's basically a fleshy peg leg and I'll be glad to be rid of it in August.

    Definitely trying to see if I can get Peg Leg Imperial Stout in Texas, because it fits the bill for being hilarious and going with the food at the party.

    I don't have any beer suggestions, but if you're ever in Nashville, visit Peg Leg Porker and ask for the owner (Carey). You will like him.

    Whatever you do, get yourself a giant glass boot to drink it out of.

    Also, my wife went to high school with a guy who was born with one of his feet backwards and used a prosthetic from the knee down his entire life. Apparently at seminary all the pastors-to-be would drink beer out of the old one when he'd get a new one. German Lutherans, man.

    How was the bike trail sabotaged? You mean like with an I.E.D.?
