Just wondered if anybody has come across any Beers with unusual names.

For example, at my folk club, when there is a bar on, we have had beer from
Wyre Piddle Brewery
Highgrove Farm, Peopleton, PERSHORE. WR10 2LF    Phone/Fax: [phone]
Started in 1992; relocated and enlarged in 1997, and again in 2002. Now supplies about 200 pubs in the south Midlands with Piddle beers, plus house beers for the Green Dragon, Malvern and the Severn Valley Railway. There is often at least one Wyre Piddle beer at JD Wetherspoon's Old Swanne in Evesham. GBG 2006

These are the names of their beers.
Piddle in the Hole (3.9%), Piddle in the Wind (4.5%), Piddle in the Dark (4.5%), Piddle in the Snow (5.2%)
Seasonal beers: Piddle in the Sun (5.2%), Yule Piddle (4.5%)

So of course youve geussed it.

We all ask for a pint of Piddle. Some of the looks from people who do not know what you are on about are great.

For a laugh we Ken Johnson and I put up Todger's Old Scrotum on the beer board at the Tap in Whitby the first year we went and it reappears every year. However....I actually assisted in the brewing of a version at the Hillsborough Hotel recently and have a pump clip as evidence !!! Charles Wells used to have a keg beer called Noggin and a strong bitter called Fargo (Wells Fargo get it?) Quite like Harviestouns' Bitter and Twisted

My son, the BHBLPBTDB¹, has come home a couple of times with brews from Wychwood, apparently a UK microbrewery that's being imported to my local US area. There are a number of "interesting names," and some of the artwork is impressive.

I believe the one's he's mentioned seeing here include Hobgoblin 2004,
White Wych, Scarlet Wych, Battle Axe, Dogs Bollocks, Santa Claws, Black Wych, and Fiddler's Elbow.



¹ BHBLPBTDB = Bald-Headed Bow-Legged Pot-Bellied Truck Driving Biker. I thought once about just calling him "our banjo player," but that might be insulting.

These "funny" but contrived names are all very well. But back then, when a dame was a dame and a dollar was 3 to the pound, the Manchester brewery Chester's brewed a mild. Mild was USUALLY the cheaper, weaker beer favoured by decent working folk. But Chester's was brewed thick and strong- and tasty too. It was not at all unknown for a reputable bloke to go out for a genteel night's drinking, have a couple too many of Chester's, and end up in the cells. Hence it's monicker- Chester's Fighting Mild.

In Indianapolis, we have The Broad Ripple Brewing Company, which is a microbrewery/restaurant, locally universally called "The Brewpub".

My favorite of their brews is Lawnmower pale ale.

When I go into the Brewpub in the winter, I will ask for a pint of Snowblower, my joking name for Lawnmower during the wintertime.

On another subject:

There is a chain of specialty grocery stores in the US, called Trader Joe's, and they have several beers/ales which are made only for them to merchandise. My favorite of these is Fat Weasel ale, closely followed by Black Toad ale.

Navigate below the radar strung by all the morons the best you can. NONE of it natters at all!

After a visit to the Bad Frog Beer site, I printed their screensaver Roll a Seven to use as a "little tweak" for son BHBLPBTDB, as he's somewhat into both bad beer and racing. He's on the road at the moment, but his spouse took a quick look at the picture and immediately identified the car, the driver, the sponsor, and the race when the roll "probably happened."

I resisted to ask "which lap?" for fear she'd know.



Where did I go wrong?????????

Anyone besides me old enough to remember "Olde Frothingslosh"? It appeared intermittently in the 1960s, and the can labels were hilarious. It called itself "the pale stale ale with the foam on the bottom," and the label -- often upside-down -- always featured (among other themes) Miss Olde Frothingslosh, a scantily clad but heavily built young woman. I can't remember the beer itself at all, though I know I drank my share of it...

Nancy King -

I still have 3 cans of Old Frothingslosh Pale Stale Ale, bearing the fetching pose of the lovely bathing beauty Miss Frothingslosh. They were pruchased ca. 1968, and are unopened. My only surprise is that they have not (yet) exploded although there is no visible deterioration (external) of the cans. It is difficult to imagine what may now be inside, but it could only be an improvement.

One can was opened, and sample tastes were taken by at least four persons, none of whom was capable of swallowing any of it. Two additional cans were taken by a disreputable relative of my exwife, on the pretense that he knew a collector who would want to pay me handsomely for the remaining cans. I suspect his "collector" gave him a buck apiece for the two he took, but I haven't seen him since (or maybe he tried to drink one of them, which would also explain not seeing him again).

A few years ago I penned the song below, all of the beers named are real beers, not made up names:


In Praise Of Ale!

The brewers of this nation nare renowned for their fine ales
They brew them up in Scotland, Ireland, England - and in Wales
There are Manx brews and Scilly brews and brews from far Cornwall
My delight's the supping of each one, to find the best of all
There is 'Knicker Dropper Glory', 'Bishop's Finger' and there's 'Bass'
Marstons' beer - a 'Pedigree' some think none could surpass!
You can have the 'Doggies Bollocks' or some 'Fuggles' in your Jar
Or 'Indiana's Bones', my friend, when you go to the bar!

CHORUS:
There are beers in the bottle, fine ales in the wood
Theres stout and theres porter and all of them good
I have tried wines and spirits but they all seem to pale
When compared to a glass of well kept English Ale

Beers are brewed from barley, from the maltsters fine domain
Where he germinates the seed and then kiln dries the grain
Then its crushed and, mashed with water, then its mashed with hops
With yeast it's then fermented, put in barrels, sent to shops!
There is 'Whistle Belly Vengeance' and a tasty 'Pitchfork' brew
Of 'Otter', 'Barn Owl', 'Dolphin' I'll admit I've supped a few!
You could have a 'Pig's Ear' even have the entire 'Snout'
I even once had 'Wobbly Bob' behind 'The Tickled Trout'!

Beware of specific gravity, it may well alter yours
Too high and one too many finds you crawling on all fours
It lubricates the vocal chords, you'll be singing like the birds
But it waters down your senses so you up your muddled words!
Good ale is like good women, its tasty and its kind
Its hard to go on working 'cos it's always on your mind
It picks you up, it's physic - all your troubles it will ease
So landlord, it's a pint of your good ale, I'm drinking, please

Cheers,
Lucy
