I am working on the second of the Hera Knightsbridge mysteries. Hera has informed me that she wants to craft another beer, but is undecided whether it should be a a lager or an ale. Go to my webpage www.lesleydiehl.com and click on beer to find out what beers Hera already has in her brewbarn. There is a description of each of her four brews. What beer do you think she should create? A light, clean lager or a foamy, complex ale?
Help develop Hera's next brew by deciding whether it will be a lager or an ale, but, more importantly, give it a name. If I choose your name for the beer, I'll send you a free copy of A Deadly Draught, autographed to you or anyone you choose. The contest will end on August 30. Post your ideas below or send them to me LesDieh60@aol.com.
Since Hera already has three light colored brews and one medium dark, I'm thinking she needs an even darker one. Of course, that could be my bias, since I favor darker ales.
ReplyDeleteHow about a truly dark one -- suggest it could be called Midnight Magic.

I WOULD NAME YOUR NEXT BREW... "Southern Sass" and I see it as a light ale with a twist of something - maybe lemon/lime.

I think Hera needs something dark and sweet.
ReplyDeleteI'll cast my vote for a Stout named Sweet Bertha. (Bertha is a name that I associate with a stout woman.) Or make it a Chocolate Stout and call it Montezuma, after the Aztec emperor who supposedly drank nothing but a chocolate drink.
Hera clearly needs to brew a truly hoppy India Pale Ale. Here are some name suggestions:
ReplyDeleteHoppin' Hera's IPA
Spruce Ridge IPA
Hera's Hopped Up IPA
Hopsbridge IPA
A Knight in Shining Hops IPA

Keep the ideas coming. These are great! Lesley
ReplyDeleteIn spending time driving around upstate New York this summer, I was most impressed with the winding bodies of clean water that I passed. How about a light ale called, Clear Creek. Think, too, of the play on words you could take advantage of when someone was ordering their fourth, fifth or even sixth Clear Creek. It's a real tongue twister, especially if your faculties have been compromised.
ReplyDeleteThe perfect name for a light ale, but only college keggers would be disrespectful enough of a hand craft beer to drink more than one or two, right?!!!!!
