Punning beer names

[Paulbroad]

Remarkably, my son was born with red hair, despite neither my wife or I having it. I brewed a ginger beer a little while go, named 'My Son's Ginger Beer'. (With credit to Burleigh Brewing's 'My Wife's Bitter').

[Cosh]

I also like to name all my beers:
May the Schwartz be with you
Epic fail ale
Dunkelicious
Helles bells
Ferny pils
Smok wawelski

 

[Airgead]

Nice Zelazny reference, Dave!

I'm particularly proud of that name. Pity no one gets it any more.

Wits Up. Name given to my wheat beer. I don't normally name them but I liked that one

Some punning names that have occurred to me:

Very Bitter English Ale
Bitter and Twisted (English bitter with a twist of some fruit)
Victory Bitter
Saison and Spice
In Somer Saison (reference to the start of the very old English poem Piers Plowman)
Rather Stout
Very Stout
Not-so Stout
Nit Witbier
Peter Porter (after the poet)

10 puns and not one of them impressed me......

No pun in ten did.

Zing!

Had a red Rye ipa I called ryeding the red river. First time using a significant amount of rye (20%) in my top down recirculating system. Was pulled away from the brew for something and came back to a sticky red mess everywhere when the mash was stuck sending the wort overflowing with a heavy flow.

I bottled a robust porter the day my first was born, gave some to my dad and father in law as grandfather port(er).

Had a red Rye ipa I called ryeding the red river.

Sounds too much like the dolmio grin, if you know what I mean ;-)

 

[peas_and_corn]

I can't go past my principally Perle beer I called Perle necklace

 

[black_labb]

Sounds too much like the dolmio grin, if you know what I mean ;-)

That was the reason for the name, it left a sticky red mess everywhere

 

[carniebrew]

I've been naming all my beers after characters from Austin Powers (hence "Carnie"Brew, as any fellow fans will know). I try to match the name of the character to the type of beer where possible, some examples to date:

Frau Farbissina Hefeweizen (in fact I use the good Frau's name for all my weizen beers)
Random Task IPA (they don't come much stronger than Random Task)
Mojo Pale Ale (my house pale)
Kensington Kolsch (oh so pale and oh so yum)
Fat ******* Ale (my version of Fat Yak)
Fat ******* Brown Ale (I think I have a turtle head poking out...Aww, it's SQUIDGY)
Foxxy Cleopatra Amber Ale
GoldMember Ale (my DSGA)
Kilcarney Irish Ale

Probably the only pun beer name I came up with was one of my first k&k brews. I was still a Carlton Draught drinker at that stage (still pick it over most mega swill, but not if there's something more interesting). I attempted a clone and called it 'I Can't Believe It's Not Carlton' in reference to a margarine with a similar name. I could believe it wasn't Carlton...it was worse

 

[lukiferj]

Sinkin' the Brown Ale - brewed with a mate who has great taste in beers but questionable sexual preferences

Fruitylexiale - tsking me back to high school

Reign in Blood red ipa - Slayer. Enough said.

Satan's Black Heart Porter - once you go black...

 

[Green-Lobster]
