Beer's name...ever wondered?

[RubenRosa]

Hi guys,

So I'm in a urge to jump on my brand new first thread on this forum simply because this is and as always been something I really wondered about.

Trough out the internet (including this forum) I see a lot of beer names, some of them really weird and it has always left me wondering...how do you guys name your beer recipes?

Do you specify the style and then add an adjective to better describe its taste or colour like "Muddy Porter"? Do you just think of a random name like "Deadman's Ale"? Do you include a tribute to some recipe?...

I'm just curious on how you guys get the names for you brand new beer recipes because i'm not that creative when it comes to names and it will surely help me out a lot if you could share some know who about your creative process in this fashion.

Thanks in advance and Happy Brewing!

previous names include Red Cap ( I used red caps for the bottles), Impala as its one my favourite American cars, 3 Hop IPA (I used 3 hops) etc

There is a question around wether should beers be named in a continuous brand aligned name (Loch Ness brewery - hoppy-ness for example) or if it should be independent and generally fun named and individual like "albino squid assassin" a la Brew dog.

Thoughts/votes would be very interesting.

Interesting point Hoddy.
Through work I see time and again that brand recognition is everything to many marketeers, and I get their point, but I think that each beer can stand alone and sometimes might benefit from not being associated with a pre-conceived brand/brewery image or expectation, unless said brewery specialises in one style of beer maybe??
