I was involved in a competition last year where you were given a random ingredient and had one hour to formulate a recipe with it and brew it.. called "Iron brewer". I was given cumin. So the only obvious choice was "Don't cumin me, baby". It was a wit with dried orange peel and then strictly cumin in place of the spices.

That's all I got.
 
I still have an (empty) bomber from a batch of "Bare Ass Brown Ale" brewed at a BOP almost 20 years ago with a bunch of fellow EE geeks working at DEC in the 90's.
The inkjet printed label has a pair of buck nekkid "10+" blondes in a provocative dorsal pose.
It'd take a short video to do it justice as the label wraps the entire bottle.
But...it's waaaay too risque for you lot...You'll have to use your imaginations...

Cheers! :D
 
Some might think this politically incorrect. LOL

I name all my beers with double entendres. Even though I rarely do the same beer twice, part of the fun for me is naming. My last beer was No Tan Lines Brown Ale. I made a nice IPA with lots of hops and called that one Serious Bush IPA. One of my favorite beers was an English IPA I called Cheeky Slapper. Sorry no sexy labels.

This made me laugh out loud

My cider is still called "little apple bottom" (I live in Manhattan KS "the little apple"). I don't label it anymore "butt" the label was an apple... shaped like a "bottom"

they say if your tap water is good for drinking, it's good for brewing

to me, mine tastes OK straight out of the tap, but if you use it to make coffee or lemonade, it tastes like, well...

so I brewed a test batch

A pre-emptive note from a moderator, because we've been down this path before. The posts above seem fine to me, but please do not cross the line to misogyny, pornography. or bigotry. For example, remember that we have many women members here and we'd like to have more - part of that is being a welcoming place.
 
Mobcraft took a lot of heat about a year ago for one thier finalists that had dates and grapes in it. Title was the singular of those two ingredients.

That is a perfect example of what would not be allowed here. I'm leaving your post as an illustration.

Any posts like this moving forward will be deleted. Please don't create work for me ;)
 
Funny how that ATF labeling approval goes. Mobcraft has one called Bat***t Crazy. Bremen Brewing in Milwaukee has “Butterfly Farts.” Lagunitas “Chronic” and “Whiskey Tango Foxtrot” didn’t pass muster though.
 
Had one called Reno as f-word. Was fully spelled out. Beer store tapped a piece of paper on there. Was very good, hazy ipa
 
I'm not going to argue with anyone about whether a joke about date rape is appropriate for HBT. The member who wanted to argue about that is now on a temporary vacation from HBT.

Next post that needs to be deleted will not only earn the poster a ban, it will get the thread closed.

With a couple exceptions, I purposefully name my beer inappropriately. Two Hooters American Amber Ale, because we had a breeding pair of Western Screech Owls in our Mesquite tree. Landing Strip Blonde Ale, because this was a basic blonde, nothing fancy, but it’ll get you where you’re going. Cheeky Slapper Red IPA, because it came out hot and cheap but in the end was a classy and all English (malts and hops). Voyeur Steambeer, because it was inspired by a nosey old lady watching my wife and I on a romantic date in San Francisco peeking in at us in The Stinking Rose restaurant. Fiesty Oktoberfest, sorry but this one is just for me and my bride to know why. Up the Chimney Christmas Winter Warmer, because Santa needs to take care of business too, if you know what I mean. Serious Bush IPA, because I used a lot of hops in this one. Bump and Grind Coffee Stout, because if it goes bump in the night, you’re going to be grinding coffee in the morning. Treasure Trail Golden Ale, because if you’re going to find gold, you have to follow the trail. Hardcore Apple Cider, because it’s hard and there’s a core. Finally, No Tan Lines Brown Ale, because its hard to find a good double entendre name for a brown ale that doesn’t keep you from wanting to drink said ale.

My only inappropriately named one was "Hairy Manwhore". Brewed for a birthday party and named for a friend and co-worker. He had a bit of a hard time (at that point in his life) picking which girl he was going to be with or for how long...
 
An actual brewery in my home town has a beer called Mulkero, which literally means d**k or d***head in my native language Mulkero is a wintery Porter with hints of orange and fennel
 
Not really inappropriate (except, I suppose, to the hypersensitive), but the name of an excellent Porter brewed here in Montana is a bit edgy for a commercial brew.

The story is that, when the owner of the brewery was developing the recipe, a local farmer who picked up the brewery's spent grains to feed to his pigs showed up around quitting time. The brewer and an employee were sampling the latest batch of Porter and gave the farmer a glass. The farmer said "This is pretty good. What's it called?". The owner said they were still trying to come up with a name. The farmer said "Why not call it Pigs Ass. That's where it's going to end up".

The rest, as they say, is history.

I don't know about inappropriate, but it's surely politically incorrect. My mesquite-smoked jalapeno and maize brew is called Undocumented Ale. The location of my brewery is described as "somewhere behind the lines in the Occupied Confederacy". My government warning reads "Beware of the government".
 
We have a guy in our homebrew club who keeps donating a peach and rum cider to every beerfest we participate in that he named Alpha-Q. He even had T-shirts made! When he was manning the taps, he'd make everyone say the name before he'd serve them till we told him to knock it off and let people ask for "the peach cider" or "number 10".

OK... I'm getting old and stupid. What am I missing here that's inappropriate?

I don't get it?
 
I brewed an IPA to celebrate adopting my 2 nephews a few years ago. I asked my wife what I should call it and without hesitation, she said "how about Uncle Daddy's". The name stuck, and it is one that I brew every year on the anniversary of the adoption.

Have to tell this one in response:

We used to have a local grocery chain named "Dick's".

They decided to create a shopper's card that would be swiped at the register for deals, cents-off, things like that.

Name? The "Dick's Insider" card.

We had a female pastor at the time. She thought it was hilarious.

There were meetings that took place to figure out what the card should be called, and other choices were turned down.

We have a sporting goods store chain around here called Dick's. Last week my son & I went for something.
Him: This place is big!
Me: So basically your saying...
Him: Please don't say it!

I don't think I've named any beers too inappropriate....yet.
