Been to a beer festival today, I had a go on the Bishops Finger, took on the Village Idiot, slurped the Fox's Nob and fired into Old Rosie. How we laughed, that was until we left, when a jam sandwich was parked 100yds up the road. Burgers £4.50 each and I touched a ladies ferret.
Any other good names for beers?
P.S. my ar5e is a vuvuzela.
I liked the response from Orkney Brewery when some jobsworth said SkullSplitter should have a warning on the label - they asked what would you expect if you ordered a beer with such a name ?
And it is good stuff, just don't try 2 bottles in quick succession.
Once had a nice pint of Willies old Groyne.....Considering where it came from it was not salty at all.....

My local is called the Piddle Inn, and I regularly drink a pint of Piddle![]()
Went to a music festival in Leicester last week and had a pint of "99 Red Baboons". It was very nice! http://www.bluemonkeybrewery.com/

Old Speckled Hen
Fiddler's Elbow
Santa's Butt
Moose Drool (from Montana)
Arrogant Bastard (from California)
I've always found Tanglefoot amusing. The beer itself isn't bad either.
Hopefully promotion next year will mean a trip to derby and a visit to The Brunswick Pub, which has about 12 real ales on sale.
My favourite names wise was "The Usual" which I thought was pretty clever ...... pint of the usual? .... yes please.
My usual out here is Old Speckled Hen, which has somehow been morphed into Eric's Spotted kock by my lager drinking mates!!
Olde favs from back home include TangleFoot, Bishops Finger, Hobgoblin, Old Peculiar and Old Thumper.

You have mail Eric....
Not so sure on the beer names, but I still have a souvenir bottle of Cripplec*ck Cider I found in a shop in UK many years ago
'Swift one' is quite a good name for a beer.
Ya bas****s, I've now got a thirst on, soon to be rectified by wandering down to the bar for the match. It's fizzy rubbish, but at least thirst quenching and you can drink more of it than wine!
Looking forward to my trip home, sunny beer gardens and decent pints and as a result lots of training runs to keep the tum and bum in trim and to be ready pre-season.
Don't feel very confident about it: wish I had some of my Broadside in the cellar as a pre-med..
pint of leg varnish anyone? lol
Thwaite's have brewed a celebration beer for Blackpool's promotion, it's called Tangerine Dream. There were several barrels at a Preston beer festival 2 weeks ago, all were left completely untouched.
Barnaby
Rupert
Paddington
"Stagnant Puddle" would be a good name for a real ale.
It already looks, smells and tastes like one.![]()
LOL they most certainly did. That was the first pint we ordered ... it was only whilst it was being poured that we saw it was something like 6.8%.
A good start to the days drinking on an empty stomach. I'm certain the beer helped in making it seem that we were playing The Dutch Duo's total football brand superbly as we 'thrashed' Derby 1-0. Admittedly Derby were p!ss poor an hadn't won a game for nearly a year, but my blurry memory is of us playing fanrtastic football.
Used to get 'Delirium tremens' in one of the pubs in Bevios Valley (cant remember the pubs name, it's the Dungeon now).
Also there was 'Bishops Tipple' (that we hilariously re-named Nuns Nipple), the Frog & Frigate used to brew their own 'Frog' (or maybe 'Frogger'), the strap line was 'one pint of Frog & you'll never frigate'. Also I recall 'Old Codger' & 'Moosehead', (or was that the slappers I got off with at the end of a Friday night after drinking this lot).
I've had a pint of Baz's Bonce Blower which I think is (or was) the strongest beer brewed. It tasted foul.
