11 FUNNY BEER LABELS
30 Jul 2014 By Xin Hui Helder-Eng
11 of the funniest beer names we have come across; useful if you want a chuckle, Pilsner Urquell if you want a beer recommendation, aight?
Just the other day, we were walking through Prague, Czech Republic, looking like your regular Asian tourists, taking pictures of buildings, haggling at gift shops, misinterpreting operas, eating pork schnitzels, drinking Czech beer, and having a beer spa (story for another time!) – as one does at the height of summer in Europe – minding our own business, when we saw a sign “Staropramen”, and the Asian in us made a run for it; towards it. To our dismay, it wasn’t a “RAMEN” shop, it’s the name of a brewery. And that, is just a useless background story to introduce this useful list – useful, if you need a laugh; Pilsner Urquell if you need a drink – of 11 of the funniest BEER NAMES (some breweries, some brands) we have come across.
Why 11? Because it’s one more than 10.
You’re welcome.
1. Staropramen
Prague, Czech Republic – see useless story above
2. Uncle Sam
Singapore – local childhood name we give to cops, explaining why this beer’s presence can be uncomfortable and comfortable depending who you are, but overall, here in Singapore, it does its job well.
3. Polygamy Porter
Utah, USA – can double up as a good excuse if caught with pants down in an orgy.
4. Panty Peeler
Alaska, USA – can double us as a good excuse if caught with panty down.
5. Hoptimus Prime
New York, USA – yes. because that’s exactly what Optimus Prime drinks to get that cool voice. They are counting on you to think like that.
6. Faceplant
Virginia, USA – because a faceplant is always funny.
7. Tactical Nuclear Penguin
Brew Dog, Scotland, UK – important to know because their line of beers ALL have great names, like, “Chaos Theory” and “Bitch Please”, jtnaf.
8. Bishop’s Finger
Kent, USA – they say the locals call it Nun’s Delight.
9. Low Life
Evil Twin Brewing, Denmark – and the label is even funnier! reads: “A clever woman once said; ‘fair is foul and foul is fair’. On that note we threw in a young, unacknowledged hoppy pilsner gave it a limp, wrinkly flavor and finished it off with an insulting high price that will give you a foul feeling in your mouth. That’s why we name Evil Twin Brewing’s Low Life the Golddigger of Beers.”
10. Bitter Sweet Symphony
Stasegem-Harelbeke, Belgium – yeah, call a spade a spade!
11. Vergina
Greece – and if we can make it any worse, it’ll be to highlight that they have “Vergina Red”. Curious? Go ahead, TASTE THE DIFFERENCE!
