Can any of you name an odd beer you brewed?
I'll start.
I made a batch of beer for my Surgeon.
It had on the label, an illustration of a Shoulder Surgery.
I called it; Laporoscapy Lager (sp) in his honor.
Cheers,

Sadly, it's not the first time a beer has been banned from the US because of its label.
Verboden Vrucht (Forbidden Fruit) is a Belgian wheat ale with a Rubens painting of Adam and Eve, suitably clad. They have beers instead of apples.

The last Christmas ale my pal Keith and I made was Old Kitchen Sink Barley Wine (5 gal batch, 17# malt syrup, maple syrup, raspberry extract, chocolate and I don't remember what all).
After 5 years it was indistinguishable from rum. WHEW!

"There are certain symbols and images that appeal more strongly to children and this regulation includes the most obvious among them," Attorney General Richard Blumenthal said. I wonder what he thinks about the Hamm's bear.

LOL! I've only made labels one time. I photoshopped a Sam Adams label and put my head on Sam's body and named it Steinerweizen on the label. I wish I'd of saved that.

Sometimes I brew late at night whe the kids are in bed. I brew in my backyard on our patio. I live up in the mountains in a VERY rural hacienda type of structure...no heat except fireplaces, no AC and NO GARAGE!
Anyhow around midnight, it's just me and our 5 dogs...
I was brewing a partial mash Belgian amber and at the start of the boil the wind kicked up something fierce. I mean Santa Ana's that make the news. I covered the pot about 3/4 to try to keep out any windborne junk...
Not until I racked to the secondary did I notice the short black lab hairs floating in my beer! They hairs must have blown in during the boil. The beer tasted fine so I assume they were sterilized! I have to waste a batch of beer so....I strained through a cheesecloth and bottled.
3 months later and the beer's aging well. The first bottle was just fine, no off tastes at all.
Oh....I named it "Hairs of the Dogs Belgian Amber"

Nice story. I do my brewing indoors, which hasn't always prevented stray items from making their way into the wort. Once I found a penny at the bottom of the primary mixed in with the yeast sediment. I think I called that batch "Abe Lincoln Ale"
;-)
