First thing's first: Shield your child's eyes if they are reading this, for this post is about alcoholic beverages (albeit in the least crude manner). Now here's something I've never understood: Why is it that beer is considered unsophisticated? I mean, sure it's cheap and a low concentration, and champagne, wine and such are sophisticated, but still, it's pretty much the universal (by which I, of course, mean American) drink. I think the problem is merely that beer is not properly targeting the sophisticated audiences. So here's my real question:
It's beyond me why
There are no beers named after
William Shakespeare yet
I mean, really, it's not that hard. Here's my suggestion: In order to target a sophisticated audience, SOME beer company should market a "Shakesbeer" line of drinks. It could include such classics as:
A Winter's Ale
The Taming of the Brew
Two Gentlemen of Corona
All's Well that Amstel
King Beer
Much Ado about Frothing
And many more.
C'mon, there must be some beer heiress reading this or something... I'll only take some of the profits... Bueller... Oh well.

This is great!
ReplyDeleteI posted that first comment by accident. What I wanted to post was:
ReplyDeleteI think your idea's on the naming of beers was great. Original! You may have posted in jest but I think it could be a great selling gimmick!
You should contact a local designer brewery with your idea. Ideal names for beer in a colege town.
Not a bad idea. There is the Ithaca Beer Company in town....
