    We recently had a favorite beer names thread, time to flip the coin. I just opened a Cloudburst Grand Theft Autumn FH ImpIPA, and thought that was a really dumb beer name.

    What y'all got?

    I can't think of any off the top of my head, because if a beer has a really stupid name, I don't buy it. Really glad that there aren't so many beers with names that objectify women anymore. The stoner shit seems to have calmed down as well.

    Worst use of a perfectly good beer name has to be "The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull" by Right Proper, named after the Earth album. Then they didn't have it on draft when Dylan Carlson played the 9:30 Club up the street. 9:30 Club announces shows months in advance, they had time to brew it again if they'd have paid attention.

    I agree with you on long beer names. K.I.S.S. Let's say that any beer's name with more than 4 words is overkill.

    I see your Burial and raise it by Troon. Their most ridiculous beer name imho was during their first anniversary in 2017.

    "Entranced by the Northern Impaled Necrowizards Blasphemous Incantation Amidst the Agonizing Abomination of the Lusting Necrocorpse"

    Pretty heavy on the Necrowizard. But lacking in Lusting Necrocorpse if I'm being honest

    There used to be a VA brewery called Flying Mouse that named their beers... Numbers. No description of the style whatsoever. Made you have to ask.

    EVO in MD at least put the style after the number.

    Oh damn... what a missed opportunity. I don't know how many chances they'll get. Dylan Carlson has lived a hard life. Side note: I think "The Bees Made Honey in the Lion's Skull" is a great freaking record.

    That's what we would call in the literary world a redundancy

    It was a great show. Just him, his guitar, and a bunch of pedals opening up for Sleep. One of the many shows where I preferred the opener to the main act.

    As my ex put it "This is the music I want to hear when I scale a mountain"

    Also, it was a great beer. Mixed ferm braggot, if I remember correctly.

    That is a parody black metal song from Seth Putnam, a notorious figure in the underground metal scene.
