03 Jun 06 - 04:05 AM (#1752056) Subject: BS: Amusing/Wierd Beer Names UK From: Rasener 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: 01905 841853 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. |

03 Jun 06 - 05:26 PM (#1752367) Subject: RE: BS: Amusing Beer Names From: GUEST,Paul Burke 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. |

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. Dave Oesterreich |

I can't remember the beer itself at all, though I know I drank my share of it... Nancy |

04 Jun 06 - 08:45 PM (#1753024) Subject: RE: BS: Amusing Beer Names From: JohnInKansas 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). John |

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 |
