It's pretty common in the world of craft beer for brewers to come up with, hmm, interesting names for their creations. I love coming across really good names and trying to get the joke. Most of the time I get it.
Joey Redner, over at Tampa Bay Online took the time to compile a list of the top ten beer names ever. I won't spoil the number one pick for you, but there are some great names on the list. Beers with names like "Old engine Oil" and "I'll Have What the Gentleman on the Floor is Having" are just a sampling of the fun to be had.
This top ten list is just the opinion of one man, though. What would you put in a list of the top ten best beer names?

My personal favorite brew is Chimay Red but the name is not as funny as the rest of the list by any means. It's the taste I go for. I have to admit that Dead Guy is also very tasty. Arrogant Bastard is as strong as its name would indicate. A bit like Guinness.

At their brewery tour, they said that everyone has one can of beer in the fridge that they drink during/after mowing the lawn, usually something Lite. They wanted to make a Good version of that beer. And it is!!
