Naming our Belgian Wit: Part II

Thursday, August 28th, 2008

We’re making some progress. The top 2 character choices right now are:

Weatherman (wits are cloudy)
Jester (wit… you know)

And the top names are:

Weatherman Wit
Scathing Wit
Wit’s End

Unfortunately my contribution: “Walt’s Wit, Man” failed to make the shortlist. I suspect knavery. Any favorites among these? Or fresh ideas? The issue we’ve run into with this beer is that [...]

Eye Patch Ale (a play on IPA… think about it)
Mutiny IPA
Hoppy Plank IPA

Give us your thoughts on these, and suggest [...]

We say goodbye to the Swashchuckler IPA

It is with a heavy heart that we retire the name “Swashchuckler.” We love the beer so much, but the name is just too hard to pronounce. Joel has trouble with “vowels,” but this has no bearing on the matter.
And so we open it up to you, dear readers, to provide us with a better [...]
