Your chance to name a beer
Mark Fesche sends word from Raleigh, N.C., that he is opening a brewery there, the Boylan Bridge Brewpub, next week and is soliciting names for his beers.
Fesche reports that when he brewed at Twin Lakes in Greenville, Del., "I named one beer 'Brew 52' after Ray Lewis. I want to name another after him, but it has to be subtle, with all these Carolina fans down here."
He will brew an IPA, pale ale, an amber and some lagers.
As for payment, his web site says this: "If you have an idea for a beer name and wish to share it, please email us at newbeernames@boylanbridge.com. If we use your name, we'll point at you and say, "...that's the dude who gave us that cool beer name!" or, we'll give you a free beer,... not sure yet. But definitely one of those two things."
Seems to me naming a beer is like naming a kid. The parent has veto power. Then again, I wanted to name one of our sons Kareem, figuring that with a name like Kareem Kasper he would always get picked for any basketball team. That name was vetoed by my wife, proving that some vetoes are more powerful than others.
Anybody got any good names for these beers.?
Best I could come up with was Above Average Lager.

Only problem with that Rob is they are an ale brewery.

How about Hurricane Ale after the University of Miami.
