Beer Nicknames? nb

[TheBoatman]

I was wondering if there is any other beer in the world that has so many different nicknames as Guinness?

I have heard it refered to as Guinness, The Black Stuff, Irish Champange, Diesel, Bunkers, and The Black Nectar.

Any more!

How many other beers can claim so many different names?

Our sailing club beer seems to attract a lot of weird nick names, its called Rap Tackle after the funny building on the end of the quay but gets names like rib tickle, snap shackle and so on. I bet there are loads of beers tha get re-named by locals enjoying a bit of drunken banter.

"Liffey Water" - so called because that's where the Dublin Guinness Brewery is reputed to have got its supplies of water.

I shudder to think where the Park Royal Brewery got theirs from.........../forums/images/icons/crazy.gif

Sailing friends of ours who used to live in Nottingham tell a story of the local pub where the beer taps were coloured green. One of the locals was in the habit of coming in, pointing at the pump and saying "Green Un". That was the extent of his conversation.
It has become something of a catchphrase; we can't sail past a starboard hand bouy now without someone shouting "Green Un"

Guinness has been called the black custard. The Irish will have " a feed of Guinness"

Stella is known as "wife beater".

Whitbread Tankard was known as "Titbread W**kard"

Fosters is "The Amber Nectar" which I thing comes from Barry Humphries, Adventures of Barry McKenzie.

Castlemaine is known as "XXXX" because the average Aussie can't spell "piss"...

Strangely, I never drink Guinness in England /forums/images/icons/smile.gif.

For a decent pint of the stuff, go to the Harbour Inn, Portrush, in NI. You'll have to wait about ten minutes for them to pour it and let it settle, but all the cliches about how it tastes on the Emerald Isle are true.

Re: Chateau Park Royal

There are a few pubs on the mainland that sell imprted guinness, The Highwaman just outside Barry is the only one that springs to mind, although the Irish bar in Kiel is run by a Brit and imports proper guinness from Ireland.

Old Essex boys used to call Grays bitter Scooter Ale.
After a few pints, if you tried to ride your bike normally, you would poop yourself trying to swing your leg over the saddle.

In my motorcycle club there seemed to be more names for Fosters,
most were unprintable.
Best practical joke was to ask the newest member to order for us
Then listen and watch the barmans reaction to.........
"Eight pints of Scruttocks Old Mudflap please"

Having worked in a real ale pub for a few years there are many real names that are just as good

Wobbly Bob, Red Nose Reinbeer were a couple of my favourites, but as breweries go I think Skinners in Truro get the prize for the best range of names...Who put the lights out?, Betty Stoggs, Kiddy Winkler and Helegan Honey to name but a few

Sharp's Doom Bar, has been the ruin of many a sailor and takes it's name from the sand bar off Padstow
Hick's Special Draft (HSD) was renamed High Speed Disentry because it used to sit in the lines of quite pubs in the area

But there were plans for the pub I worked in to change to a brewpub, and the beer names that were suggested were a bit more nautical, (well the one I can type on here)..."Dragonboat", after the unbeaten record of the pub in the annual dragonboat racing....and "Shy Talk"...after the seaguls...might have to say it out loud to yourself before you get the joke! :-D
