So I'm an avid home brewer and I need the help of the MGoBlog community. I want you to help me name my next beer. Your post should include 1)what kind of beer it should be 2) what to name it. The winner will receive a free case of it when it's done. (provided you are 21 years of age).
(EDIT) Winner is Zoltanrules with Ale to the Victors. e-mail me your contact info. chewy9180@yahoo.com

Close.
MMMMM. Go Beer!
Your friendly neighborhood contrarian.
Does it have to be Michigan-themed?
I've always wanted to make one called "Ale Davis" and have it be aged to the point where it is virtually spoiled, yet I would enjoy drinking an old, spoiled beer that is called "Ale Davis" because of the irony. Hyuck hyuck.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
I'm with you on the NBA reference
I dabbled in home-brewing a couple years ago and wanted to make a cherry porter, so I could name it "Terry Cherry Porter", in reference to the former player & then-Pistons assistant coach. I suppose you could also go with "Jerry Cherry Porter" after the perennially underachieving NFL wideout.
Yeah those are both pretty stupid but whatever.
Sometimes I think it's a sin
When I feel like I'm winnin when I'm losin again
I'd make a nice summer lager
I'd make a nice summer lager and call it "The Impossible Dream".
I'm a fan of an 18% wheat
I'm a fan of an 18% wheat beer or barley wine. Then you can call it OMG Shirtless!
Brew
I think you should do a 1) porter.
and name it 2) The MgoBrew Dark
MgoBrew is more of a brand name than a specific type. A more creative name for a porter would be "The Cop Puncher"
"A flute with no holes is not a flute. A donut with no hole is a danish"
The MGoPorter could be:
(in Red Stripe shaped bottles)
Mike Hart's Three Star Shorter Porter.
"You never guessed it would be this good."
Make a pale ale and call it
Make a pale ale and call it Hail Ale.

I like this one..no decision
I like this one..no decision yet though.
"It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!!"
IPA
I like the Hail Ale, but an India Hail Ale would be even better. Or a wheat beer and call it Maize and Brew.
Like a blind man at an orgy, I was going to have to feel my way through
How about
Add corn to your starch and call it "Maize and Brew".
Pale ale
Make it a Pale Ale that knocks you on your ass and call it "Barwis Brew."
Or
Or Dolphin Puncher.
Ale to the Victors
A michigan made ale that has a nice maize color. Damned I'm thirsty now!
"I don’t wanna live in Rainbow Land, and you can’t make me!"
Excellent!
If that is an orginal idea, it's a winner . . . trademark it!
Your opinion has no value.
You Can't Mess With Perfection
+10 if I could.
Wolverine Nation Unite!
Those who stay
will be shitfaced.
This has nothing to do with Michigan football.
I wish I could +1000 this.

Flavored
If you are interested in making a flavored one, you could make a dark ale with a hint of grape flavor (nothing strong) and you could use a very high original gravity to yield a high amount of alcohol - like 8-9% abv and then call it "Grapes of Wrath." I dunno why I've just always thought that was a great idea but never worked up the courage to try it.
Not that I loved Rich Rod less, but that I loved Michigan more.
Easy
Flavor Corners....whatever type you prefer to make it. I'd go with a hefeweizen type but it's your choice....Flavor Corners knows no bounds when it comes to variety.
seconded on a hefeweizen
but call it a Uferweizen instead.

oops
i think this might be my first ever double post.

Do an Amber
Call it Chips beer
"A home brew that overachieves, leaving Spartans confused and UM beer snobs pleased"
Wheat for sure
Wheat beer. Name it something like "Wolverine Wheat."
I always called my homebrew "Responsibly".
That way, no matter how many I had, I was ALWAYS drinking responsibly.
or an IPA
Hawkeye Beer - Homemade satisfaction that yearns to be better but still pales in comparison to your favorite
Bah
Go name your own damn beer.
or...
Grouchy Old Man Lager.
-
get two different bottle sizes (one short, one tall), make one sweeter and the other a bit more bitter.
"Down in Front"
"Stand Up and Cheer"
Now I'm Thirsty
Weapon of Choice - large IPA or Belgian Tripel
The Lloyd - full-flavored Red Rye (I don't know why, but when I think Lloyd I think rye - rye beer, rye whiskey, even rye bread).
Chris Perry Carry - a smooth lager that finishes strong. A beer that you could call on an excessive number of times during the Michigan State game to carry you through.
A refreshing, slightly hoppier than average
Negger Pils.
People that annoy you?
Another option?
"A flute with no holes is not a flute. A donut with no hole is a danish"
Mealer?
Develops over time into a hearty, strong taste that reflects the work put into it
Classic Amber...
Urinal Trough Lager.
Amber/Red
Berenson - Chilled, this beer makes a strong finish that shows the drinker a season of effort with a lot of heart
Geaux
Geaux really wants that free case.
i get OCD and can't stop thinking about stuff
if it weren't for my horse...
So many choices
I have a hard time arguing with MGoBeer/Brew. Something with a a hoppy bitter taste like Hopslam. Maybe call it "Slot Ninja".

Bo's Brew
"You'd better finish that - son"
A wheat beer made from Michigan wheat grown under a maize sun in a blue sky.
life is like a box of chocolates... and you got the Whizzo Quality Assortment
I like Bo's Brew .. +1
If you made wine you could continue the pattern and call it Rich Rod-Riesling
There is also a Bo-Sauvignon
That's right we are supposed to be the wine and cheese
crowd of fans - I guess I would serve a GoBlue Cheese Spreadformation on Carr's Crackers.

I have the red...
gonna get my vino on when we beat UConn.

Buckeye Tears
Name for a weakass batch of bitter "near-beer", to be used exclusively when your brewing experiments go awry.
Your opinion has no value.
Biakababrewka?
Henneweissen?
Too cute?
Haha
Biakababrewka is hilarious. Rohberon?

Make whatever kind you want, but the name has to be MGoBeer.
I just destroyed that toilet with a huge Rosenberg.
