Name a beer

Recommended Posts

I'm launching a new brewery here in Colorado this summer called, Blue Skies Brewing Company. We'll be in Longmont, CO about a mile from the DZ and we hope to open the doors by June. I need some help with the names.

I've been calling our basic IPA the Free Fly IPA but a friend suggested Horny Gorilla IPA. My wife was concerned that many folks won't get it. The artwork of course would explain what a horny gorilla is. Our beers will mostly be skydiving themed but we also want to have some beers that are named after rock climbing, river sports and mountain biking. What do you guys and gals think?

Names so far:

Wild River Blonde Ale
Belly Down Brown or Head Down Brown
Swoop the Pond Saison - Made with yeast collected at the DZ
Free Fly IPA/Horny Gorilla IPA
Chocolate Stout - No name so far
Double IPA - No name so far
Bavarian Wheat Porter - No Name
Porter - No name

Thanks gang!B|

I can make that happen!

Right now I've got bombers of the brown and chocolate stout. I'm about to bottle the scotch ale and the Bavarian Wheat Porter. I'll have the blonde and IPA ready in about 2 weeks. Let me know what you want to sample and I will get it to ya. :)

Chocolate Stout - The Dark Side (CReW, not freefly... Everyone knows CReW's the real dark side... Crazy fuckers)
Double IPA - 2x11 (double crank reference for bikes)
Bavarian Wheat Porter - The Long Spot (landing in the wheat)
Porter - The Rodeo (wingsuit rodeo)

>Blue Skies Brewing Company

Blue skies brewing is the name I've been using for my homebrew ventures. I've got a case of glasses with logos on them I can send you once you open.

Names I've been using -

Skydiver Blonde (based on the now-defunct Lang Brewery's beer of the same name)
Swooper Stout (based loosely on McMenamin's Terminator stout)
Sitfly Saison (my own recipe)
Memphis Dark and Stormy (stout made with whiskey yeast)
Dan BC Dubbel (special release)
Twin Otter (Maris Otter amber)
Bigway Brown (standard extract-based brown; can be made very quickly for bigway events)

There is a Cast Away IPA by Kona brewing Co.

so....

I propose.. Cut Away IPA.
or is that too close and not original?

Ohhh, I like "Ground Rush" by the person above^

High alchohol beer, gets you so messed up that you'll get a ground rush.

I'm not a fan of the Horny Gorilla name because I wouldn't want to have to explain that term to any kids who might be hanging around. (We're big family people, there always seems to be kids running around!) If you don't like Free Fly, how about "Head down"? Besides being a freefly term, it's also a play on words along the "bottoms up" that people say while drinking.

Or, you could just name one after your favorite dz.com Moderator. :)
