How about:

	Brew Ha Ha
	Minute Malts
	Mine Stein
	Barley Kin
	Homey Foamy

(not great, I know, but off the top of my head...)

    How about a name that befits the masterpiece you've created? A
    one-of-a-kind classic that will stand the test of time. A beer that
    could be placed in a museum for all to see...
    
    
    Michelangelob...A Work of Art!

>>    Michelangelob...A Work of Art!

I thought it was a work of Bob.  Art must be a friend of his.  :^)

Some other ideas:

	My Your Beer
	Harming Killer Brew
	Overhill Overt Ale
	Low In Brow
	Busch League
	Shake's Beer (to go along with Michelangelob, but in a different
		creative venue)

    If I tell you, will you buy me a beer?

As long as we're getting vulgar...

The name isn't really important; it's the slogan that goes with it.  Might I 
suggest:

		"xxxxx beer is like love in a canoe."

Why?  (<CR> to see possibly offensive answer)

    Not only will I give the name, but I'll give the text on the label and
    the recipe. This is my own special brew

                            Erisian Bitter #23

        This fine New Hampshire bitter was brewed with the the finest
        Nashua city tap water, the finest barley malt, and Fuggles hops
        that were probably sitting around the seller's longer than they
        should. A single rose petal was floated in the fermentation
        vessel, lest this fine ale be in compliance with the self-
        righteous, anal-compulsive, and unpronouncible German Purity
        Law. No warranty is expressed or implied. Excessive use can lead
        to confusion and a bad case of the giggles. For internal use
        only.

              Callasti Brewing, Nashua, N.H.    Lip read or die!

    
    The recipe:
    
    4 lb amber DME
    1/2 lb dark DME
    1/2 lb crystal malt
    as much Fuggles or Goldings hops as you want -- I've been using
	1 1/2 oz Goldings or equivalent in alpha acid and it's more bitter 
    	than I like, but my friends all seem to like it as is.
    1 packet Red Star Ale Yeast
    1 rose petal
        
    Put the crystal malt in half a gallon of water or so and bring to a
    boil. Strain off the grains and bring the water up to 2-3 gallons, add
    the DME and 2/3 the hops. Boil for an hour. Add the rest of the hops &
    boil for 10 minutes. Bring the water back up to five gallons, let cool
    to lukewarm, add yeast starter and the rose petal. Ferment for 1 week
    at room temperature. I've been doing single stage, but racking will
    reduce the sediment. I've also had luck with Irish Moss finings. Prime
    with 1/2 to 3/4 cup DME or sugar and bottle or keg. Drinkable after one
    week of conditioning, but it prefers two or three weeks. Aging for much
    longer than that doesn't seem to matter.

    Of course you'll want to provide a bacchanalian description.

Isn't that Cones Toga?

    
    
    FWIW:
    
    There is a beer I drank in Belgium called  "Mort Subite", Meaning Quick
    Death.

                            

"Dirty Tree" beer.  Sounds like thirty-three, '33', Ba-mui-ba.  That's
what we drank in Vietnam, sonny.

    	It's a pale, stale ale with the foam on the bottom.

    Re .19 (Glinch):
             
    They stopped making it?  Gad!!!
    
    When I was in the service, stationed in Buffalo, it was advertised
    around the holidays.

    Thanks for the suggestions.  My current batch (bubbling away right now)
    is called "Excuse Me Porter".  Porter is a dark ale and, well, I seem
    to have over-hopped it a little bit so that it comes on a bit strong.

    I presume it has no pretensions at all?

    
    
     Instead of  porter, perhaps bell-hop?
    
    djw
    

    ... or chill it to practically freezing and call it Cold Porter,
    which should produce harmony among its drinkers.

    "That'sh where you're wrong. [hic]  I ate frogs' legs an'... you're

    I ran across one of my favorite names again.  How about
    
    	Tiglath Pilsner ?
