Great Titles for Beers

[theboatmanscall]

I just saw two beers with the best titles:

- Lenny Bruce R.I.P.A from Hebrew; looks like a double ipa

- Brother Tholonious belgian style from North Coast Brewing

curious to know if anyone tried these yet. any thoughts?

The Hebrew Lenny Bruce RIPA is delicious. It has a nice full flavor, and the aging process in a whiskey barrel adds a great, uncommon flavor in the background. If you like full-flavored beers, it is a must.

Arrogant Bastard Ale from Stone Brewing Co. is one of my favorite titled beers, and the text they have to go along with it is quite humorous too. Damn good ale as well.

Surly Furious is a great name for that particularly hoppy amalgam that comes out of Brooklyn Park, MN...

Hey folks.
Speaking of funny beer names, if you wanna create one, this Random Beer Name generator is pure genius.

I have a can of Schmidt beer from thirty years ago that features a bear overlooking a strip mine on the label.

Ale Mary, Full of Taste - Limited Edition by Rock Bottom Brewery for the Pope's visit to Denver several years ago...

I like TEA (can't remember who makes it but very appropriate for my family) and 'old tom' which has a cat winking on the bottle.

Though the biggest laugh was when I turned up an old boyfriend's flat with a few bottles of 'duff'. I kid you not. It actually wasn't bad, a dark beer rather than a stout, still makes me smile. D'oh!

[Jim Dorsch]

Probably Hog's Back Traditional English Ale

[Herm]

'Dead Guy Ale' from Rouge - and totally unrelated, the hot sauce called 'asbirnin' that comes in a little asprin bottle...

[punelle]

The Belgian beer Delirium Tremens has always made me chuckle when I see it in the store. At 8.5%, it can live up to its name the next day if you spend a full evening taking it down.

When I was in Iceland I drank a bottle of Polar Beer. (There's a polar bear on the label.)

There’s a small brewpub near me call General Lafayette. The brewer can give his brews some peculiar names including:
1) Over The Hop IPA
2) All Fuggled Up Amber
3) Dunkel Sam
4) I’ll Be Bock
5) Alt! Who Goes There?

[Chinon00]

There is a beer recipe called I believe "HOPocalypse"! God I just love that.

[VegaCarpio]

Brother Thelonious is a great beed with a great name.
have you also seen the ad? love it too:
"A Monk's Dream. Straight. No Chaser."

At the GABF in September I tried Old Leghumper Porter by Thirsty Dog Brewing from Centerville, Ohio.
Good porter, but...
best. name. ever.

I have had the Lenny Bruce R.I.P.A. (the R is for Rye, as I recall) and it was very good. I was a little skeptical of the He'brew beers at first...I figured that they probably thought that since they had a good marketing gimmick they didn't need to worry about the quality of the beer...but it's very good.

The most amusing name for a beer I have seen recently is "Kentucky Breakfast". It's a double stout, 10% abv, which was one of the highest-rated beers of all on beeradvocate.com. I believe the brewery is in Michigan. It was described there as having the color and consistency of used motor oil.

The He'brew tag lines always make me chuckle- Messiah Bold "the beer you've been waiting for" etc.

The one time I made it to Chicago for the Real Ale Festival, before it folded, we had Flossmoor Station's "Train Wreck of Flavor," which was literally that, and quite good.

[ergozum]

Here in Eugene Oregon we have Ninkasi Brewing, a new micro brewery featuring brewmaster Jamie Floyd. His signature Total Domination IPA is over the top. Sorry currently only availabe on draft.

Some favorite names that always amuse me:

Old Horizontal... drink this and you'll be horizontal

Old Rasputin... stout fit for a raving madman

Dreadnaught... have no fear

Behemoth... this MASSIVE brew

When will a Minneapolis brewhouse come out with Harmon's Killer Brew?

That Brother Thelonius is intense. I went to and wrote about the 'unveling' of that beer in Santa Monica last April for a jazz magazine. Ended up with many bottles. It is very rich - huge flavor, and very strong. I typically do not like sweetness at all in my Belgian beers and prefer white stuff like Blanche de chambly. But Brother Thelonius is incredibly delicious and very well-crafted, even using the mild sweetness it has to keep my tongue on its toes. I think it's very good, and much more drinkable than alot of trappist beers.
