    I get annoyed by Treehouses use of multiple letters (usually a pattern of three repeated consonants but not always) in the various (too many) versions of Green and Juiceee

    Agreed. Had it on tap at the brewery some years ago, as I was amused by the name. It wasn't terrible, but wasn't anything to write home about either. Caldera makes a number of odd or unusual beers, some of which are actually pretty good. Didn't feel this was one of them.

    Similar issue I have with what Veil does... duplicate the words (Never Never Again Again)... or using superscripts like math (We Ded Mon ^ 3)

    Very surprised that nobody mentioned Evil Twin NYC's IPA naming convention yet...They are by far the worst, most attention starved, social media clickbaity, and drawn out word vomit. Although I suppose with me posting about them, I'm actually giving them the attention they seek so badly.

    Hoof Hearted Brewing, itself a candidate name, has some doozies.

    Having said that, they make some great beer.

    Admittedly, that's a brew that I think has been discontinued, but definitely a relic of a different era.

    That sounds stupid,
    Hope, assume they are out of business

    Paint Me Like One of Your French Bread Pizzas // oil or latex?
    Triple Tepache Cowboy Konkey Dong // use auto-correct

    My answers could work for them too.

    At the other extreme, what do you think about breweries that put zero effort into naming their beers? For example, all Dovetail's beers are just the style - Saison, Hefeweizen, Pils, Pilsner (those two kill me), Baltic Porter, etc. I know they're not the only brewery that does this.

    At least you know what you're getting, but it's...boring.

    I don't mind this approach at all.
