Words

A deadline is negative inspiration. Still, it's better than no inspiration at all.

~Rita Mae Brown
Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement.

~Alfred Adler

Shopping by Name

Beers

Monty Python's Holy Gril, Black Sheep Brewery, North Yorkshire

Accusation Ale, Phillips Brewing Co, Esquimalt, BC

Sometimes Bitterness comes from a frivolous Trademark dispute. We prefer it when it comes from a nice late hop addition to a great ESB! Our September Seasonal is here, in all its glory...only 180 cases available in finer Cold Beer and Wine stores near you!

[Phillips Brewery was subject to a trademark dispute over its "Blue Truck" ale, which was named after their (you guessed it) blue delivery truck that had recently died. It seems that Red Truck brewery out of Vancouver took exception (I guess they didn't see a similar problem with the Red Truck (Cline) winery in California whose name they are using). ]

These guys have some fantastic beers with fantastic names - Amnesiac IPA, Black Toque India Dark Ale, Draught Dodger Maple Cream Ale, Surly Blonde Big Belgian Triple, Dirty Squirrel (hazelnut),

Hobgoblin and Fiddler's Elbow,Wychwood Brewery, Oxfordshire.

For anyone interested in other great labels, I found a flickr list called Beer Labels, Close Up which has some pretty cool stuff on it.
