Later Tonight on Fairhaven…

The brewing will be underway in just a few short hours at Joel’s humble abode. This weekend I picked up the making for an English bitter. See, about 6 weeks ago, I added the wrong grains to a batch of IPA (added some Vienna and Cara-pils instead of 20L Crystal), and ended up with a beer that was much closer to a bitter. So this weekend I picked up a few more specialty grains and some British hops, and hopefully we’ll have a legitimate (and intentional) bitter in a few weeks.

Myeah, see here, copper.

The above title is a failed attempt at trying to sound like a 1930s Chicago gangster through the written word. Now for some help!

This is our first go at a label for our new wheat beer, The Weiss Guy. Or Weissguy. Or something. It’s a hefeweizen… and that’s about all we know thus far. We’ll let you know more after it’s done fermenting/carbonating.

But for serious, ya’ll, we need your comments. This is the people’s wheat beer! The volksbeer! Let your voice be heard!

The Weiss Guy

So I think the concensus on the new brew is to call it “The Weiss Guy” (thanks to Walter for the name). Next task is to nail down a quote and we are wide open for suggestions. Potential themes include:

The Mafia
Adolf Hitler (it’s a German Beer)
The Nazis (See above)
Wisdom (or not)

Potential sources for your research include:

wikiquote.org
bartleby.com
quotationreference.com

Looking forward to your submissions!!

Hefe help!

We’ve already bent our own rules… Monday we brewed our first wheat beer and neglected to name it during the brew session. (Yes, brew session. It’s the lingo used in the business. Consider yourself informed.) That said, we’d love your help.

The stipulations: Each of our beers is going to revolve around a “character.” Fat Monk is a monk, Swashchuckler is a clown pirate, Roundhouse is a ninja. The beer name doesn’t have to be a character, but must be somewhat related to one (roundhouse kick to the face = ninja or Steven Seagal). Bonus points will be awarded for bringing in the beer’s history.

Also, the name has to be totally kickass. Please leave all suggestions as comments.
