I split up 20 gallons of wort for brown ale into three batches. One done using English hops and S04, second American hops and US-05, third using American hops and Nottingham yeast and a quart of maple syrup.
Named them Larry, Darrell and Darryl.
Yes Larry was the one with syrup.
 
Brewed a Kolsch outdoors once. A yellowjacket did a kamikaze into the boil kettle. I was able to scoop it out. Called the beer (of course) Yellowjacket Kolsch.

Made a Moose Drool clone. Called it Elk Snot.
I had to look Moose Drool up, but reading both of these stories just right behind each other - made me first think of a similar incident... hope there are not that many moose with flu around your spot...

Nanook's DIY Yellow Snow Kit
The Utility Beer research kitchen approves this :D

- Pumpkin Wheat Ale -- "Peter Peter Pumpkin Wheater"
Hillarious!

Recently I brewed a pale ale for my brother's church wedding celebration - I don't have a name yet, just the working title 'married with kids'.
 
I've bounced back and forth between "Whale Tail Pale Ale" and "Snail Trail Pale Ale", but I've never been able to choose which one I like better.
Allz I’m gonna say is most people like whale tails a lot more than snail trails.

:ghostly:

I kegged my first batch of Lug Nut Porter, I can’t wait for it to be ready. It may be going to the homebrew jamboree in September. We shall see. Dunkel’s Weizen and Roggen’s Bier will be going too.

This is Porter, sometimes called Lug Nut.

The first Porter I brewed I named Power Outage Porter. During my brew day we had to evacuate to the basement from a tornado, power was out too

It was during my boil so I had to carefully move the kettle out of the way to make room. The next day, the threat behind us, I was able to finish brew day.
 
I tend to think I’m pretty good at naming my beers. I do a lot of sentimental and nostalgic names and also silly ones

One of my favs is a beer I brewed for my oldest son right when he was born. It was a milkshake ipa that I called “Milo’s First Latch” to play on his first “batch” and breast feeding

When my base grains get low, and it's time to restock - I always do a recurring batch with the range of Pale Ale styles ... Called "What I got left". Couple pounds each of MO, Pilsner, Munich, with flaked corn, biscuit, and carapils. Hops? What I got left that I am not sure what to do with.
