Most of these I had never heard of, and a bunch of them have me ROFLMAO. If only the rest of the manufacturing and advertising world
could get along without self-reverence as well as these people do.

Frogprince, you have a point there.
However, is there another product that lends itself to such diverse and funny names?

One thing I can think of is the names on a shelf of hot sauces in New Orleans. I kinda liked "Kiss My Ass and Call Me Sally" sauce, myself.

From Michael Jackson's Beer Hunter site:

"While the Swiss make the strongest lager, the British produce the most potent ale: Roger and Out, which has been known to reach 16.9 per cent, brewed at the Frog and Parrot pub in Division Street, Sheffield."

Amusing and appropriate name.

The Blue Anchor, of Helston, Cornwall, does some wonderful brews. If I remember correctly, the specials tend to be 8-10%, but the name and proof vary with each brew. The stardard is about 6.5%. This may explain why my memory is somewhat hazy.....

Our local AHL Hockey team put out a beer a couple years ago..They are the Portland Pirates, and the beer was called "Salty Pete's Pegleg Ale" Salty Pete being the mascot...sounds rather disgusting to me, though...

Although the drinks themselves are more than usually chronic I do like the coloquial and often truer names applied to bitter/lager/cider mixes and other "cocktail" type drinks favoured by the young and stupid such as Mindbender, Skullsplitter, Snakebite and of course the ever popular Wifebeater

It's called 'Niche Marketing', so just grab your favourite Niche Beer and crawl away to your favourite Drinking Niche...

Not so much amusing as interesting, but Tomos Watkin brewers make "Cwrw Hâf" & "Cwrw Brâf" which translate as "Summer Beer" & "Fine Beer" respectively.
They also make a Welsh Cider (at 6%abv) called "Taffy Apples"

CHEERS

Just heard on the news that a butcher somewhere in the UK has taken the bull by the horns and made various meat recipes.
Unfortunately didn't really listen, other than the names were quite amusing.

One of the players was used for something like Owens meat balls and so on.

Did anybody get all the possibilities ?

Another small UK brewery which has a range of amusingly-named beers: the Storm Brewing Company of Macclesfield (Cheshire).

And the stuff on which I lived as a student: Brains Brewery of Cardiff. Brains SA doesn't sound a particularly amusing name , but my fellow-academics held that SA stands for "Skull Attack", and the unofficial Brains motto was, "Drink ours, ruin yours".

Moonlight Brewing Company of Sonoma County, California brews Twist of Fate. It's a bitter bitter.

Buffalo Bill's of Hayward, California brews Alimony Ale. It's exceedingly bitter.

Honest to God I saw in an A&P ssupermarket (now Superfresh) some little donut hole looking things with coconut on them. The side of the box said "Frosted Balls"

The next time I went to the store I could not find them.

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

Ten Penny brewed by Moosehead Breweries ... ok the name might not be so amusing ... but the locals find the people who drink it rather amusing.

Rapaire:

Moose Drool is a fine beer, an amber, from the Montana Brewing Company. I have some in the 'frig.

Seconded. I may go down the street and pick up another six-pack.

There's also:
...

Polygamy Porter (Wasatch Brewing, Utah)

Their slogan on the label (see it here): "Why have just one?"

;-)

Pretty cheeky thing to say in Mormon country....

Cheers,

Around the time of the wedding of Charlie and Diana, Bruces brewery (The Firkin chain, as was) Formulated a very strong dark ale, called "Dianamite" (Only to be sold in half pint measures.)

And as someone has mentioned Chilli sauces, I am the proud owner of a bottle of Jalapeno sauce from OZ/NZ, which is wittily named "Rings around Uranus"

I thank you!

My mother got back from Colorado last night with a selection of Moose Drool add-your-own-beer mixes (beer bread, beer sourdough pancakes, etc.). The gift shop gave her a discount because they said they weren't selling well. Duh. I guess Winter Park takes itself too seriously (she did say there were a lot of VW Touaregs . . . ).
