It seems there’s no end to the creativity and genius of craft beer brewers! From unique flavor twists and variations to one-of-a-kind packaging, the brewing world is rife with inventiveness and innovation at every turn.
This ingenuity extends to the naming of brews, with convention all but thrown out the window. It seems that every week, manufacturers are scrambling to come up with increasingly funny, clever, and downright outrageous names for their products.
As a nod to these visionaries, we’re currently putting together a list of the funniest and most outlandish beer names ever committed to a label. We’ve already come up with several certified gems, and the list just keeps growing!
That being said, we could always use a few more! If you know of a hilarious, unique, or otherwise noteworthy beer name, please feel free to send it our way. You could send us a can or bottle of the brew in question, a t-shirt or other merchandise with the name prominently displayed, or even just mention it in an email. We’ll be happy to add it to our list!j
