I’m getting ready to bottle my third brew.
#1 was Bombadil, a nice java stout. Tom Bombadil was a great magical character in Lord of the Rings that didn’t really need to be there but certainly makes the books richer.
#2 was Advent Ale, an sort of spiced ale. Advent is a significant time of the year for me.
#3 is a nut brown ale. But I’m really not wanting to just call it “nut brown ale.” B-o-r-i-n-g.
So would you help? There may be something in it for the winning contribution!
How about explorer ale?
Jan
or Polar Ale?
or New World Ale?
or Butter Ale?
Ooh. These are great, Janice!
How about:
“I’m a Nut” Brown Ale
🙂
or :
Ima Nut Brown Ale
Yep…you are a nut! 😉
They just come to me. 😉
“Prudish Nutz Brown Ale”
How about Thoreauly Nutty Ale?
Thoreau wrote about Bangor in “The Maine Woods”, and visited there often.
Yeah, it is punny, but I tend to think naming things according to some local connection is a good way to go.
Treebeard Ale.
“Toasted MP’s! brew”
😉
Very nice! Keeping the LOTR thing going!
My wife suggested honoring your mentor and calling it the Strout Brown Ale as oppose to the Stout brown ale. Only later do you have to let Phil know that he is the nut your beer is named after.
Waterville Brown Ale

From this I got the following ideas:
John Brown Ale
Brown Freedom Ale
Osawatomie Brown Ale
Osawatomie Freedom Ale
Old Brown Ale
Freedom 21 Brown Ale
21 Freedom Brown Ale
Vintage 21 Ale (link must be included)
Check out the link to see my thoughts on it.
Bless you,
John
Katie: I like it!
John and Shelly: WOW!!! What names.
Phil’s definitely a nut…
And the others are fun too. Especially the Vintage-esque ones… 🙂
John Brown was a New Englander too. Conn. guy but still a NE resident.
Phreak Brown Ale
Is Conn part of New England?
why have you overlooked the whole small furry nut-eating rodent connection?
nothing makes a beer tastier than a label with a cute little chipmunk!
So true!
Drunkin’ Munk?
(pun intended)
Okay! So what did you end up naming it?
Jan
Thanks Janice!
I haven’t yet. It’s not drinkable for another week so I feel I still have time. 🙂
I’m liking “Nuttin’ Ales ME” — suggested by some friends in CA.
nothing truly inspirational here…but thought I’d share them anyway.
Dan came up with the Nutty Professor and the Minister’s Nutty Ale, Nuttin’ Ales ME
I came up with Nut & New Brew (said quickly is Nuttin New) or Nuttin Newat Ale
oh I love it!
