ICTDirect_Dave Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Good morning lovely Edugeek! I've a fun little competition for you today. Some of you may have already seen that our own Johnnie Graham is turning his hand to a spot of home-brewed craft ale. Well, I'm taking the opportunity to hijack his moment of glory a little... From today and running until bonfire night, I'm going to hold a competition to name his ale! The rules are simple. Come up with a fantastic name for said beer - My current thoughts are something along the lines of Graham's Finger... The name should be funny, safe for work (although we encourage puns and innuendo) and should describe the beer adequately. Submissions to be posted in this thread, we'll pick a winner after the 5th November. Additionally, you can also enter your very own design for a beer pump clip for said beer. You'll find lots of templates here. There will be a suitably beery prize for the best name AND the best clip. Six of the best ales from the superb Mobberley Brewhouse. I think that is all Ready... Set... GO! 1

StevieM Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 I think @ictDirect John needs to give us a little more detail about the brew. So far, we know it's a Citra Pale Ale (Citra hops and Pale Ale malt). What is the expected ABV/flavour profile? Will there be any additional hopping? (This has nothing to do with the competition, by the way; I just want to imagine that I'm supping a pint. ) 3
featured_spectre Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 Well...in that case... Citra butt down! 2

(This has nothing to do with the competition, by the way; I just want to imagine that I'm supping a pint. ) He's not in today, but I'll send him here when he's back. In the meantime, this is a Citra hopped ale, which was then dry-hopped with Mosaic. Measured ABV at 4.5% but apparently that's wrong as it seems MUCH stronger! There's a picture of his most recent sample. And here are some example Pum Clip templates so you photoshop wizards can get the branding all set up. I'm sure you'll be able to find John's face around here somewhere paddle.pdf monte-vert.pdf keg.pdf Curved Ribbon Can Label PDF.pdf 2

Either way, I'd say his kidney function is below par. EDIT: Not sure why the picture isn't showing. It does ruin the joke, somewhat. Edited October 9, 2019 by StevieM 1
bald_pig Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 spent my free time knocking this up before you posted the sample label 1

sonofsanta Posted October 9, 2019 Posted October 9, 2019 30 Hops or Null Underrated tech pun. I like it. Beer clip design, though if you like the name best then credit for that should go to @featured_spectre tbf 3
