My beer has been selected as 1 of 4 IPAs to have 400L commercially brewed and will be served at Archive Beer Boutique in Brisbane during the month of September. The highest/fastest selling beer will become a permanent house beer.

I now need a name to accompany the beer. I'm open to all suggestions. Catchy and funny preferred.
The bar has told me that creative names tend to sell the best. Please let me know what you've got.

Cheers

Here's the recipe specs for my beer;

I have always wanted to call an IPA, "Bitter Tears." I give you permission to use it.

Brisbane Bender!

Hopocalypse Now

Citrus Hopsicle.

In homage to the BN, I think you need to call it something like Crazy Bitch IPA or Asshat IPA. BN'ers from miles around will flock to your beer just because of the name. :

As you 've got so much golden promise in there how about "Tim Tinker's". "Tim Soldier's" or "Tim Spy's" are possibles but "Tim Tinker's" is best. Of course the other golden promise heavy "Tim (othy) Tailor's [sic]" is taken!!!
