Is there a story behind the name?

I don't laugh at many of the "pun"-style brew names, but that one is pretty funny.

Not much of a story really. I was trying to do some work at the same time I was brewing this beer the first time and my laptop kept locking up on me. So I had to keep using Ctrl-Alt-Delete to reboot and each time I had to reset all my alarms in the Brewday Timer program. As soon as I started to try and do some work again, comp would freeze and I'd have to start all over. It happened 5-6 times, finally I just said screw it and quit working.

Thats cool.

This thread is Alt but just brewing one now and i love the name. Also, pulse i hate OSU fans as well

You know the story of how Cntl-Alt-Del came to be?

Gotta wait for the punch line...
