Best names for your beer batch?

I made a low alcohol, low calorie & low carb version of a Witbier that I named Half-Wit.

I brewed a clone of Lagunitas Little Sumpin' Sumpin'. I called it "Sumpin' Like Little Sumpin' Sumpin'".

I have been working on a recipe based on Lagunitas Daytime IPA, I call it Daytimeish

I like the "-ator" suffix on German dopplebocks, so I called my dopplebock "Salivator Dopplebock". I brewed 10 gallons, kegged half and bottled half. Drank the keg fast (bad idea to hit the dopplebock keg with 1 Liter mugs, take my word on that), and bottled the rest. I lost a case for a few years. It got shoved behind other stuff in the basement. When I found it after it was 2 years old, it was amazing! My favorite name though is "Tropical Mind **** Hazy IPA" but I can't take credit for that one. Got it from my brother in law from these guys https://boomchugalug.com/products/tropical-mind-****-hazy-ipa-all-grain-beer-recipe-kit. I always love giving beers like this to my in-laws and dropping a few f-bombs just to see their reaction!

I used to make up names for my brews but now I use the clone name eg Sierra Nevada. The exception being brews based on hops eg

Andromeda IPA with Galaxy hops
Helicopter PA with Chinook hops

 

[Shenanigans]

I usually just call them the obvious names, either based on the name of the beer I've tried to clone or the beer style.
Smoked Black Rye IPA for example.

Only if I have a party I change the name a bit.
I haven't had any parties since before the pandemic so my beer menus are on my old laptop, but I do remember calling a clone of Innis & Gunn "Lumberjock"
because it's a Scottish beer with wood chips in it.
Another red ale I called Red Heeler as there was someone at the party who was a fan of Cattle Dogs.

 

[pvtpublic]

Studfinder (wine sour)
Treasure Chest Blonde
Cav Stout
Ejection Porter
Fuzzy Wuzzy Was A Beer (strong winter ale)

Latest batch = #203 Not very imaginative, I know, but it helps me keep track. Each batch # has corresponding recipe and brew notes in brew log.

Are you an Accountant

 

[Steveruch]

I'm totally stealing that!

Be my guest.

 

[Zanatrik]

I name all of my beers, its a fun game for me. Most are literary references because I’m a bit of a nerd, but its fun for me to think of names that somehow relate to the style. One of my favorites is just called 42.

 

[Tomahawk47]

WHen I first saw this thread, I thought, "Best name for your beer b*tch"... Hmmm... Any takers?
Well, I guess that would be hijacking a thread... sorry!

 

[Dland]

Are you an Accountant

No, but I can count.

 

[ZapperMike]

I made a peach mango cider that was named “Little Dicken’s Cider”. The women love it!

[scrap iron]

I usually don't name my beers except for a few that honor loved ones that have pasted.
Marsha's Brown Eyes Brown Ale for my sister, Papa Doyle's Baltic Porter and Mama's love Blonde Ale.
I do have an APA named Die Commie Bastard and there are no apologies for that name.
Army Vet here.
cheers

I found my old beer menus, most were indeed just normal but there were a few exceptions.

Tangerine Dream - an APA with Summit hops
Dr. Fuggles - an English IPA - actually brewed with East Kent Goldings and not Fuggles but though it sounded better
Rye of the Tiger - a Rye IPA
Brown Legend - Double Brown Oatmeal and Rye Ale - one of the worst beers I have ever brewed but looking back with hindsight I probably didn't let it age long enough

 

[Cheshire Cat]

As I was driving past Stonehenge yesterday I thought I would make a beer related to it called Summer Solstice, basically Maris Otter and First Gold. It’s Graham Wheeler’s Summer Lightning recipe replacing the hops with First Gold.

 

[whovous]

I once decided to make a hazy milkshake sort beer entirely from baby foods. More precisely, types of oat, wheat barley and pureed fruit that are typically used to make baby foods, not foods from actual baby food packaging.

The pureed fruit was blood orange.

The name: Sippy Cup of Blood.

 

[Willy]

Wish you were beer.

I haven’t brewed it yet, but my next hoppy beer is going to be Nell’s Who Farted IPA.

I may have grown up but my sense of humor is 12.

A few labels for some of my named brews

I named an IPA "Scooter's Diamond Cutter" in honor of the greatest equipment manager in all of NCAA men's D1 college hockey.

 

[bwible]

I played around with variations of Pin Up Blonde

I posted this one in other threads. I had been naming some of my beers after Beatles songs. My favorite was the Imperial Stout I call Back In The USSR. Our cat Ziggy passed before Christmas last year and I asked AI to make me a label for that beer with a Russian blue cat wearing a Russian hat holding a dark beer with the Kremlin behind him. It made me this.

And I started calling my barleywine Big Fist years ago. A play on Sierra Nevada Bigfoot. Again I asked AI for a label with a boxer or wrestler punching an opponent in the face.

 

[MograhmDeadbraid]

Gully Dwarf Tea
(My first beer I brewed, I gave it this name because my first hydrometer was not working properly when I tested. After drinking, my buddy and I decided it was closer to a 10.1% ABV)

 

[fluketamer]

9 finger stout. i was going through a tolkien phase.

"Old frogs leg - a hop in every drop"

 

[superiorsat]

I asked AI to make me a label for that beer with a Russian blue cat wearing a Russian hat holding a dark beer with the Kremlin behind him. It made me this.

How does someone ask AI to create labels?
