I'm not speaking ill of the actual beer being churned out by the microbreweries, but some of these names are out there. You can just come up with fake beers pretty easy. Any combination of the following works: rugged yet non-threatening brewery name + adjective + noun and type of beer + optional verb
Sly Dog's Ballistic IPA 7.2% abv
Snarling Wulfboy Imperial Buttmilk Stout 6.5% abv
Grandma Betsy's Ballbuster Pilsner 5.3% abv
In 2 Deep Hoptastic Boombastic Retard IPA 8.8% abv
Tiny Pecker Brewery Purple Yerple 4.5% abv
Sunset Depot Throat F*cker IPA 11.3 abv (limit 2 throat f*ckers per customer)
Golden Shower BrewHaus Liberation Weizen 8.6% abv
[laughing]
One reason is because brewers are running out of new names for various styles. Couple notables which I've personally drank of late:
SanTan Brewing Company Sex Panther.
Evil Twin Brewing Molotov Lite. (Damn good)
Blue Owl Brewing Spirit Animal
Fish Brewing Company Family Wagon
Laughing Dog Brewing Sneaky Pete (Damn good)
Odell Brewing Company Rawah Rye IPA
Horny Goat Brewing Co. Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter
Independence Brewing Co. Oklahoma Suks
Epic Brewing Co. Fermentation Without Representation
Scary revelation: #2-#9 have been consumed during the past 45 days.
