Beer of the Week

[Eddie86]

Sorry, I was knackered last night so just made a brief reply. To follow up though, the idea of tours never occurred to me, and I know if I was there I would be interested even though it is just to look at a big container wrapped in red.

Also gratifying to hear it being used as an opportunity to increase staff knowledge, it is nice to hear it becoming part of the culture of the pub.

It all sounds really good stuff, and a defining personality to your pub. I know I will be looking to try out the Kilvert's Klear Knight pale ale (please ignore the acronym ).

I'm actually thinking of names for the brewery. Kilvert's obviously fits, but I wanted to see if I can have some fun with it. Kilvert was a pastor who kept a diary of his life in the area, so I thought call the brewery the Right Rev Brewery.

The Right Rev's A Friendly One (3.7%, Pale and lightly hopped session ale)
The Right Rev's Alright! (4.2%, Dark Amber, malty)
The Right Rev's A Penguin! (35%, Sweet and Banned in the UK )

If anyone wants to join in the fun - brewery name and 3 beers. I reserve the right to nick all your ideas at any time

You probably wouldn't want to nick any of my ideas but how about something bookish or even literary, bearing in mind where you are or is that a bit obvious? You could still have Penguin or even Puffin for those too young for the Penguin. "Cracked Spine" might a strong ale, or "Misp(r)int" your best lager, or if you have a busy day "Out of P(r)int" , there's also "in print" and "Imprint", then all the font names ........... err or maybe not . Slink is a good name for something and I shall slink away now.

Oh btw, Durham Brewery has done ecclesiastical type names to the death although no sign of "Bash the Bishop" yet and of course Brains might be after you if you use "Reverend" although there's a couple of beer names with it in listed in the 2010 GBG.

I almost forgot the brewery name, a jokey name isn't usually a good idea for breweries (and I can't think of a book related rib-tickler ), so something local and basic like "The Gelli Brewery" (or Brewhouse if you want to be folksy), "Gandryll" sounds a bit Lord of the Rings, so maybe just a simple "Kilvert's Brewery". You could be modest and go with "THE Brewery"

OK I'll stick to the day job.

I have been out since 10 am and in the mean time you appear to have all gone barmy.

OR

Perhaps Conrad has been playing with those unknown features again and has inadvertently set off the Angel Dust dispenser
Any event it seems a good time was had by all.

I like Kilvert's as a name- has a nice ring to it. Regarding 'Right Rev' I believe that form of address is reserved for bishops.

Everyone loves the wordplay and dreadful puns when coming up with beer names, myself included. I came up with:

'Pastor Sauce'- a strong, dark ale?
'Diary Milk'
'Way-on- High'
