Developing beer names...

[osagedr]

Rotted Rodent Imperial Stout--bottled in a batch of old bottles in which I discovered a dead mouse

Fat Czech Pilsner--made for a buddy who likes large girls

I brewed a coffee porter one time, mis-read the recipe and put in too little coffee. I named it Little Joe Porter.

I was just going to make a post about this. I generally try for a balance between cute, funny, and informative. Some names I came up with lately:

Game Night IPA. Because it's the brew of choice for my friends at boardgame night.

Prince of Amber. An amber ale, and a nod toward Zelazny.

Forum Troll Scotch Ale. Because I added 2 oz of peated barley to the recipe, and it seems like the use of peated barley is the single most divisive topic in all of homebrewdom (even more than iodophor vs star san).

Leaf Peeper. A fall-themed wheat ale, dunkelweisen style but with cardamom, honey and a touch of orange.

Bugbear Brown Ale. Used to brew this for my D&D group, but then I moved away from them. Someday, I'll have call to brew it again.

Pick a theme and stick within that theme.

This is great advice. I brewed my first lager, an Oktoberfest, to celebrate my first daughter's birth, and called it Oliviafest (you can guess). Later I brewed a Doppelbock and called it Oliviator, and a Pilsen called Oliviois. Not creative, perhaps, but fun.

Now I need to work Sofia in...maybe with the ales.
