Message HonkeyBra beers 4044 º places 13 º 19:01 Mon 8/11/2014 Originally posted by Frank Originally posted by beastiefan2k Wild Onion, the name already makes worry about strong onion character in their beers. This one rubbed me the wrong way from way before I ever tried their beer. I remember buying surplus bottle caps from a homebrew supply, which are over-runs from productions for commercial beers and will just have some random logo on them, and I got a batch from Wild Onion and just thought, "Oh, these guys must’ve went out of business" because the name was so bad. Although I agree it is a bad name, it kind of makes sense. Chicago was named after a wild onion and wild onions are native to the area. There is a brewery in Wisconsin called Four Brothers that is just begging for a cease and desist letter.

The beers are terrible.
