How do you name your original recipes?

[rjcortez]

Thanks everyone I don't feel like such a total goof ball naming beers now. We aren't labeling them because they never stay around long enough to bother. We use a color code of colored caps and those little avery circle stickers to keep track of what batch is what. Working on trying to keep better records in some kind of spreadsheet or database where we can track dates and comments, suggestions for improving or just don't bother brewing this again.

I've had several people ask me what we're calling our 'brewery' and I just laugh. But I'm sure there will be a night of imbibing home brew that the brewery will name itself.

As I brew at my parents cabin every time. I have named myself Mineral Rights Brewing. Because of a hiccup in purchasing the land over the mineral rights. But my beer names come from whatever weird things I can come up with. My favorite is "the Carpet doesn't match the drapes Blonde Ale"

Dead Red Coat (Irish Red Ale)

I will admit, thats a good name (f the english!). :rockin:

I take the name of my first pet, then I take the name of the first street I lived on and merge them together. Ex:

First Pet: Ruby
First street name: Kingston Row

Hence; Ruby Kingston Ale

In the very least, this will create a very unique stripper name and will ruin the rest of this thread. Enjoy

P.S. I did create a Ruby Kingston Ale. it was a very deep red ale, very hoppy and a nice finish. i will try to find the recipe.

I usually name mine from song titles. Works for me.

I'm a huge fan of horror movies (the cheesier the better) so I use horror themes. I've got a Blonde Ale coming up called "They're Coming to Get You, Barbara" which in retrospect is a very long name for a beer. But I think making amusing labels is half the fun. Also got a Pliny clone coming up that I was planning on calling "Pliny the Undead."

Anybody else brew a Smorgasporter?

I wait until I have enough leftover stuff from other brews and just mix it all together. They've all been pretty good. I always wright down the recipe in case I happen to brew a masterpiece by mistake.

I'm going the offensive route with mine. It makes the labels on photoshop more fun. I haven't printed a single one yet though. It's fun to goof around though. I'm thinking of a series of serial killer themed imperial beers.

Ive been naming my beers by using a combination of the style of beer and something that represents the area that I came from. For example I just put together a recipe for a spring pilsner, I named it Spring Field Pilsner since I am from Springfield, MA and it is a spring beer. Kinda worked out nicely I think!
