I think it is fun to name them. We put a lot of work into coming up with recipes and a lot of work refining our processes. Naming the brew is in a way, a means to mark the accomplishment - when it is finished, it deserves a name.
My first IPA is "Problem Child" since it was my first born and learning AG brewing presented its share of problems. I have that one down pretty good now.
My next brew, significantly more successful was my Rye IPA which I named "Little Brother" a bigger beer with a good punch.
In my mind, I am creating a product line - one to be proud of. I am choosing to build the beers with matching names and sticking to a small town kind of lineage. Next week I am brewing Hanacroix Creek IPA - a local creek that is a tributary to the Hudson river. Beyond that, I am working on the Coeymans Hollow Porter and Alcove Amber. Who know what after that.
Obviously it is all in fun and I am really new at it - but still, I am proud of what I am doing. A name for some reason indicates how much care went into it all.
