With all of the names of beers that continue to push the limits on what's 'appropriate', I've always wanted to call a beer/liquor store (preferably a large one, like Total Wine, where someone that doesn't necessarily 'know' beer that well would answer) and start by asking, "Do you guys have Arrogant Bastard?" Yes. "How about Backwoods Bastard?" Depending on the season, Yes/No. Now that they are primed, ask them, "How about a limited release beer called Backwoods Mother-trucker?" (or Backwoods Mother*ucker, depending on how gutsy you are and or how well you think the person on the other end will take it.). I haven't done it, perhaps because my sense of propriety, but if I knew that the person on the other end had a good sense of humor, I would love to do it! Aside from the ones I mention above, do know of any names of beers that push the limits of propriety?
I'm very not into the crank calling thing - wasting everyone's time for something that's really not funny, IMO (call me a stick in the mud if you want, but being on the other side of things for longer than I care to admit...) Anyways, there's plenty of beers that are a letter or 2 off from some rather inappropriate comments, though I can't really think of too many off the top of my head - long day and a couple beers gone to the head.
I suppose "can I get Sucks at your store?" would be equally sophomoric, but what do I know; I frequently enjoy Old Leg Humper.
Flying Dog Brewery comes to mind here, particually "raging bitch" and "doggy style" but I'm sure they have a few more good ones.
Me: "Uhh...I'm looking for beer from a specific brewery..." Clerk on Phone: "Ok...I know the store pretty well, what can I help you with?" Me: "Do you know Hoof Hearted?" Clerk on Phone: *silence* Me: "It's a real brewery...I swear...just want to know if you know Hoof Hearted, and if there is any of that wonderful brand in your shop? Clerk on Phone: "Damn pranksters!" *click*
While we are at it, how about names of beer stores? There is a liquor/beer store in La Jolla, CA called "Liquor Box", I kid you not. If you want to make prank calls, I would start here.
I've called the Toppling Goliath taproom and asked " Do you have Sue in a can?" And when they say yes, I'll say "Well, you'd better let her out!"
I've got a couple more I might try. I'll be here all week. "Do you have any Hop Stoopid?" "Yes, we just received some from Lagunitas this week." "Do you have any Stout Stoopid?" "Do you have any New England IPAs?" "Well, we have a couple hazy IPAs from some local breweries, yes." "No, I asked if you have any New England IPAs. Like Finest Kind from Smuttynose."
"I would love some Heady Topper right now" Crazy beer name. But nothing beats Cantillon fou foune with translates to vulva/beaver
