All my beers have baseball-themed names, many Cubs related: Crooked Numbers Summer Ale High Heat Chocolate Chipotle Ale Seeing (Eye)PA SEA's (wife's initials) Berry Wheat 'Til Next Year Day Game White IPA 8/8/88 Black IPA Disco Demolition Double IPA Pine Tar Stout Okay, maybe not super cool in general, but they're fitting for what I do.
I usually don't bother coming up with names for my brews, but my wheat ipa was different.... "Weenie Dog of Doom"
I don't know if I can beat "Weenie Dog of Doom," but I'm looking for a name for my Helles. I came up with one for my Koelsch but the pun only works if you speak German. "Vat ze Helles" comes to mind....
Silver Streak -- is the name I'm using for Batch Code #25, which is a Rye Pale Ale --- - Using a lot of Chinook hops - It's batch 25 - It will be ready about the time football season starts (I'm a Detroit Lions fan) (ya, make your jokes) Awakening -- is the name for a white IPA that will be next, batch code #24 Story: 2010, had no clue (well very little clue) what craft beer, let alone homebrewing, was all about. Microbrew / restaurant that was frequented on work assignment was serving up a Citra hopped IPA. From the first smell, I was "awakened" .. and the taste, wow! Well, I got a little loopy that night. Next day, I'm googling this Citra hops they wrote about in the beer description. Short story -- Here I am. I was "awakened" .. probably wouldn't have this hobby today had I not experienced that beer. I ordered the ingredients for both of these beers this morning.
according to Google "Vat ze" is dutch and says "They Barrel" and "Helles" is German meaning "Bright" so the Bright Barrel ??
