Do they sell a cream ale & milk stout?

I just had a beer called Cocky from a UK brewery called Piddle. Piddle is another word for Piss. And this beer tasted worse than piss.

Ohio has a bunch, as previously mentioned. I don’t like the name JAFB-Wooster on many levels: it’s an acronym, it stands for Just Another Fucking Brewery, it has a hyphen and a town name in the title. Just bad all around.

I’ll second most of the ones mentioned above. Here are a few others:

7venth Sun (FL) - Numbers in place of letters = unforgiveable.
Sweet Mullets (WI) - Like Hoof Hearted, it’s a joke that was not very funny in the first place and gets old quick, and they’re stuck with it forever.
Karben4 (WI) - What is that?
Singin’ River (AL), Crazy Sista (AL), Freak’N (AZ) - Misspelled words, abbreviated, slang - annoying.
CAUTION: (CO) - Breweries that can’t turn Caps Lock off.

I’m not a fan of the ones that just use a city or state.

And, of course, all the breweries that use names that already exist elsewhere.

Also the owners/founders surnames initials. If you go in there the locals get terribly annoyed when people call it by its more widely known acronym.

They make darn good IPA’s though.

Another bad one in Chicago that is opening soon (I think) is Motor Row Brewing. I don’t think it’s a bad name on its own but to me it sounds like the name of a brewery from Detroit. Yeah, I guess the Motor City doesn’t have complete dominance of all things motor but still... Good folks though.

Fuck the locals, that’s what the brewer told me it stood for the first time I met him. And they do make great beer, so don’t care about the name. Come to think if it, I don’t like the Fat Head’s name or logo either, but the make some of the best beer I have ever had...

I don’t think anyone is knocking any of these breweries’ beers, just their names.

Seems there is an abundance of brewery owners with 14 year old boy minds out there.
