When you are at a bar and are looking over the beer menu, it can be quite easy to be overwhelmed. Though there are probably some beers you have heard of before, there are likely a many brands that you are completely unfamiliar with. Choosing the beer you want to drink can sometimes feel rather arbitrary.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the first things we notice about a beer is its name. Craft beer brand names, among Alcohol<\/a> brands as a whole, have an especially large impact on whether you will choose to buy them or not. A good name will project a positive brand image. This can be done by focusing on the beer, the location of the brewery, or numerous other factors.<\/span><\/p>\n

We take a look at some of the best craft beer names.<\/span><\/p>\n

Extrovert IPA (Left Hand Brewing Company)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This name of this great Colorado brew is almost a perfect description of the beer itself. It\u2019s fun, it\u2019s loud, and it certainly does everything it can to stand out in a crowd.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout (Flying Dog Brewery)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

The term \u201cOyster Stout\u201d is notably effective because it positions two things that are normally associated with opposite ends of the color spectrum. This particular beer is brewed with actual river oysters which makes the name even more meaningful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hoppy Ending Pale Ale (Palo Alto Brewing Company)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Some of the best beer brand names are the ones who decide to use puns. <\/span>Hoppy Ending <\/span><\/i>is a name that simultaneously describes the \u201choppiness\u201d of the beer along with the joy you\u2019ll feel once you drink it.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Little Sumpin\u2019 Sumpin\u2019 (Lagunitas Brewing Company)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This classic California beer has a name that is as fun to say as the beer is to drink. You\u2019re unlikely to find a bartender that doesn\u2019t at least roll their eyes and smile upon hearing a customer ask for \u201ca Little Sumpin\u2019 Sumpin.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Hibernation Ale (Great Divide Brewing Company)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This is a well named beer brand for a variety of different reasons. The word \u201chibernation\u201d immediately makes you think of being comfortably tucked away on a cold winter night. Imagery is one of the most effective brand naming strategies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Haulin\u2019 Oats (O\u2019Connor Brewing Company)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

This tasty beer has a name that works on multiple levels. Not only is the name a great pun based on a classic American music duo, it also paints a clear image of the beer\u2019s naturally oaty flavor.<\/span><\/p>\n

Anti-Hero IPA (Revolution Brewing Company)<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Brewed in Chicago, the <\/span>Anti-Hero <\/span><\/i>is a name that seems as \u201crevolutionary\u201d as the company that made it. The beer comes in a can with detailed imagery and is also colored green to make you immediately think of hops.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to Craft Beer, there are many different strategies you can take, including places online to find name ideas for Alcohol Brand Names <\/span><\/a>. Some people prefer to be witty, others prefer to create an image in consumers\u2019 minds. The strategy that will be right for you will depend on the kind of brewery you are, the kind of beer you hope to make, and the audience you wish to appeal to. Hopefully, these creative names can help inspire you to find one that works for you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
