In general I don't like names that include astronauts, lasers, unicorns, ninjas, etc. I can name a few quality beers that have these in their name but to me they just sound like cheap gimmicky brews from a not so great nano brewery.
This was going to be my answer. Just a terrible beer name. I may be an <unofficial> spokesperson for the dairy lobby but yeah, that's certainly unappetizing and also a bit confusing. Like does it have lactose in it? Tree House isn't always transparent with what's in their beers so it's very much a ???
I’m deeply, deeply entrenched in the whole underground metal subculture, and have never seen anyone who wasn’t some new “core-kid” claim Maiden or Priest wasn’t metal. Metallica post AJFA maybe, but never the other two.
"Boom Sauce" I saw a beer once called "Man Juice" (PAUSE - as the kids say nowadays!). I'm sorry, but I ain't putting anything called Man Juice anywhere near my lips.
Add "Citra Ass Down" to that. Against the Grain immediately jumped to mind when I saw this thread. Their naming conventions are so bad, and repulse me so intensely, that I won't ever be able to give their suds a fair shake, hence the reason the only beer I've tried from them was the meagerest of tasters at a share.
To quote Jules from Pulp Fiction: Sewer rat might taste like pumpkin pie, but I wouldn't know cuz I ain't putting that ************ in my mouth."
The guy from Mastodon who recently passed away infamously said a few years ago that Judas Priest wasnt metal. You can google it.
So, I’m looking through some of the beer labels in my collection and I came across this one, Vas Deferens by Caldera Brewing Co. I must have merely glanced over it when I initially acquired the label. But now, since I have such an inquisitive mind, I have numerous questions bopping around in my brain. Like, was the inspiration for this beer’s name, someone leafing through an anatomy textbook and thinking, “What a cool name. We should really name a beer after this.”? (For those who might not remember from human anatomy class, the vas deferens are the ducts that connect a male’s testicles to his urethra and through which mature spermatozoa travel on their way to sweet freedom.) Oh, and look, there are bunch of the little wigglers to be seen on the beer label. How neat. Secondly, what is the proximity of the brewery to the local sperm bank? And, is this a collaboratory effort? Also, was the decision to brew this as a Belgian-style dark ale an attempt to conceal the fact that it is unfiltered? Plus, what is the composition of the sediment at the bottom of my glass? And finally, who the hell is in charge at this joint? Caligula?
Hoppin' Frog has ridiculously long and unnecessary adjective heavy beer names. And the artwork is usually just as bad. Looks like a high school computer art assignment from 1999.
