Yes. We did it. We confirmed our commitment to blogging with the ultimate geek statement: custom-made t-shirts, modeled by yours truly. We even wear them in public. And so can you, courtesy of the Champagne of Blogs’ first contest. And there’s only one catch – details below.
Here’s how it works.
- Come up with a punny name for a homegrown-hop-laden IPA I brewed for Bruce and Eryn’s baby shower. Extra special bonus points for a beer that follows the B_______ S_______ naming formula. Emphasis on the punny: think Hopsickle, Hop Rod Rye, Hop Dreams, etc. And yes, I already thought of Baby Shit IPA (although, that’s a great name for a brown …)
- Add your beer name idea to the comment area below, making sure to include your real e-mail address (don’t worry, it won’t show up for spammers; it’s so I can contact you if you win). Multiple entries encouraged!
- Whichever one makes me chortle hardest before Saturday, July 21st at midnight PST WINS an official BS Brewing T-Shirt, touting the magical Bird Shit Stout (whose name comes from an extra-special aerially-administered ingredient that may or may not have occurred during our first outdoor brew).
- I’ll mail the winner his/her t-shirt first thing Monday the 23rd, which should get it to your door just in time for the Oregon Brewer’s Festival.
Oh, and that catch I mentioned earlier? I have only size XL. Apparently, I overestimated the girth of several of the BS Brewing crew and they took all the larges, leaving me with only XL’s. But hey, I figure a bunch of computer nerds who enjoy drinking beer and grilling are probably skewed more toward the XL end of the ol’ bell curve, right?

Hey, I didn’t see a disclaimer saying employees of BS Brewing were exempt so you might as well start making the label and give me the shirt on Sunday.

I saw one of you guys wearing a tee at PIB. It was across the park, but the logo is indelible. I said to the group I was with, “Whoa, I think I just saw a beer blogger.” We’re a rare species, but less so at beer fests.

That was probably Andrew. Of course, you too could wear a BS Brewing t-shirt if you came up with an awesome name for my hoppy IPA. Just saying …

The funny part is we have to coordinate before going to beer fests now. One shirt is cool, two or more and we’re bigger beer geeks than we already are.

I’ve just got the one idea:
Bruce’s Spawn IPA

Mom’s contribution (I could use an X-Lg shirt):
Boob slave IPA
(or slight variation) Boob sucker IPA
Baby smile hop heavy pale ale
Breastfeeding Soother or
Breastfeeding Sustenance (I plan to drink one soon!)
Bruce’s Sunshine (ahhh)
Bruce’s Sperm love hops
Todd’s got some really good ones-brave swimmer is my fav. And for some reason, Thom’s Bruce’s soft-spot really kills me.
P.S. I can even laugh about Big Slut IPA. Be careful, Mom reads this blog too!
