Best and Worst Named Beers

Well, there will always be beers like Undercover Investigation Shut-down Ale and Dumpster Fire that sound stupid, but have interesting back stories. Personally, I think it's hilarious that Dumpster Fire is one of the beers Surly brought to Chicago for their re-entry into that market (here's why).

 

I'm not a fan of the names Dark Horse uses for it's stout series beers. From the not so subtle "One Oatmeal Stout" (WHOAMG IT'S THE FIRST, GET IT??), Too Cream Stout, Tres Blueberry, Fore Smoked and Saparilla Six are also so lame sounding. Plead the 5th is an exception since it's actually creative, not just a forced number reference lol


Of course, it's hard to complain when they're all so delicious (except I haven't tried the Saparilla) =D

 

How about CSB from Laughing Dog as the best? Go to the review here on BA if you don't know what it stands for. I'm too embarrassed to spell it out. Haha.

 

Olde School

 

Love basically any off beat name...Tired Hands has some of the best

Everthing Was Beautiful and Nothing Hurt
We Are All Infinite Energy Vibrating At The Same Frequency
Yes, Yes, Yes, Killing the Ego

 

Some web searches says it was the FDA who forced it, others claim it was State liquor board/gov't. Let's just say "the man" forced Terapin to change their label due to the drug reference. Sheetz convenience stores have a breakfast sandwich called Wake and Bacon. I wonder how long that will last before they have to change their name?

As for MD = Mad Dog...that was purely a slang name. MD stood for Mogan David. So I guess that isn't the same as the Wake & Bake name change at all.

 

I stand corrected. I had hoppin frog frosted Xmas last night and it was staggering.

 

There's No Ryeing in Baseball. Ug...come on.

 

Worst: Anything from Anderson Valley, Green Flash Le Freak (beer is so unexciting that the name is misleading)

Best: Sexual Chocolate

 

Solemn Oath has some of the funniest names I've ever seen:
Tickle Fight
Mr Inappropriate
Whisper Kisses
Butterfly Flashmob
Creepy Barista
Upper Lip Surprise
Skinny Jeans Are Ridiculous

 

I believe it's Triple C's Baby Maker DIPA (best.)

Worst: Natural Ice

 

Stone IPA
Founders Porter
Blue Moon Belgian White

I dunno, I think some names are creative and all, but I just want to know what I'm drinking. Plain and simple for me...
