Closer to a new pirate-themed IPA name
Thanks everyone for stupidly ceding your beer name ideas to us for zero monetary consideration. You’re truly generous and/or naive. Of the 13 responses we’ve received thus far, I’ve hand-picked out a few of my favorites:
- Eye Patch Ale (a play on IPA… think about it)
- Mutiny IPA
- Hoppy Plank IPA
Give us your thoughts on these, and suggest better ones if you’re pirate enough. A couple thought-starters:
- Landlubber
- Crossbones
- Plank
- Treasure
You ask for Pirate names, I’m giving you parable names…
Plank In Your Brother’s IPA
Treasure Buried in a Field IPA
Thanks John A… Not.
Yeah, I don’t know. Treasure sounds more like a name I would give something that I found in my belly button after wearing a new t-shirt than a beer I’d like to drink. I’d rather you go back to Swashchuckler.
Kevin, those last bullet points weren’t suggestions for names, merely thought-starters. Treasure would indeed be a terrible name for a beer.
Eye PA is the obvious choice here. It just stands out above the rest.
Three Sheets to the Wind IPA
done and done!
I’m also a fan of the Eye Patch Ale, but I’m biased as I suggested it.
I think Mutiny’s pretty cool too.

What about Keelhauled IPA?
I like funny sounding words. What about Skullduggery Ale, or simply Skulldugger?
Or something with Scupper in it — another nautical term.
Or Forecastle ale, which would create instant insider status since it’s pronounced foaksul. Except that the word might resemble Newcastle a bit much.
So what about Jib something - Jib Jabber?
Scavenge IPA or Scavenger IPA
Shiver Me Vineyards IPA
Sea Foam IPA
I vote:
Eye PA
and for a rye IPA:
Rrrr PA
get it?
What about the wench?
Troy, do you mean your mom? I’m not sure she’s label material.
EyePA may not be the best way to go… Check out the label for Lakefront Brewery’s IPA, which makes use of the Eye… It’s not pirate-themed, though, so there’s some wiggle room, but I’m not sure if you’d want to do something that might be seen as mimicking them…
[...] everybody. You obviously enjoy naming beers. Good thing, because we’re in another pickle… Our Weissguy Hefeweizen started out as a [...]
