Thanks everyone for stupidly ceding your beer name ideas to us for zero monetary consideration. You’re truly generous and/or naive. Of the 13 responses we’ve received thus far, I’ve hand-picked out a few of my favorites:

  • Eye Patch Ale (a play on IPA… think about it)
  • Mutiny IPA
  • Hoppy Plank IPA

Give us your thoughts on these, and suggest better ones if you’re pirate enough. A couple thought-starters:

  • Landlubber
  • Crossbones
  • Plank
  • Treasure

We say goodbye to the Swashchuckler IPA

It is with a heavy heart that we retire the name “Swashchuckler.” We love the beer so much, but the name is just too hard to pronounce. Joel has trouble with “vowels,” but this has no bearing on the matter.

And so we open it up to you, dear readers, to provide us with a better name. We only ask that it remain pirate-themed, as pirates are the badass scourge of the high seas. Unfortunately Pegleg is already taken. In the 3 minutes of brainstorming we’ve conducted, our best idea is Plankwalker IPA. Swashbuckler is our fallback.

But surely you guys have something even better and more… pirately?
