Most amusing name for a beer?
Well, Bishop's Finger has got to be in with a chance I suppose, as does Old Peculiar........Although in Australia they have one called "Resch Beer", I presume because you throw up after it.....

1. Reminds me...
...of asking for two Buttocks and a large Knob. (Meaning, of course, two pints of "Cross Buttock" ale and a double measure of bourbon from Knob Creek, KY.) I nearly got thrown out...

"Sneck lifter" sounds fairly rude too, another quality lakeland export... :beer:

6. Polygamy Porter's first slogan was -
"Why have just one?"

The same company puts out "St. Provo Girl", named for the city where BYU is located and the Osmonds reign supreme.

4. "U.S.A. Beer"
It was actually in a Red, White, and Blue can but stood for "U Save Alot". You didn't though. It wasn't worth the can they sold it in.

26. A stout?!
La Fin Du Monde is a strong belgian golden ale, similar to a tripel.

It is about as far from stout as one could possibly get!

29. Stout?? Not even close
Since 1994
Type Triple fermentation Golden Ale, refermented in the bottle
Alcohol 9 % alc./vol.
Color Blond with a golden hue
Taste Smooth, slightly tart with the balanced flavors of wild spices, malt and hops
Aroma Wild spices
Shelf Life 8 years or more
Serving Suggestions Gourmet dishes, fine cheeses and desserts

In February 1994, after 18 months of research, Unibroue launched La Fin du Monde (the end of the world). It is a 9 percent alcohol, triple fermentation beer. This type of beer was originally developed by the monks of the Middle Ages to be served on special occasions. La Fin du Monde is a deluxe beer made by triple fermentation and a unique way of straining the yeast. This method produces an unexpectedly subtle flavour. With its champagne-like effervescence, it has a vigourous presence in the mouth, which accentuates its strong personality. Slightly tart, with the balanced flavours of wild spices, malt and hops, it belongs to the class of great Trappist beers and, in this regard, is a North American first. At meals, it can replace white or red wines and enhances the flavour of most dishes.

This beer is brewed to honour of the great explorers, who believed they had reached the end of the world when they discovered America.

40. Hey, that ain't a beer...
It's an orange drink--the "Plussy" name refers to its claim to have "Plus C" (i.e., extra Vitamin C).

Actually, I'm showing off; I can read the hiragana characters on the can. So can 100 million or so Japanese...
