Whats in a Name?

Good beautiful spring afternoon to you all!!!!

I was meaning to post this contest earlier but I got so caught up in WINNING that best in show award that I simply didn't want to overshadow the event but now it is time to get back into business....and we are asking all of you to help out!

As several of you know we have named all of our beers from pets, family members, lucky numbers, and other "inside" tidbits.  Naming our beers has been easy until recently.  For our two newest brews we seem to have hit a brick wall in our creative juices and have decided to extend the invitation to all of you in this terribly daunting task of giving our great beer a great name.

The beers needing named as you can tell from our website are our Munich Helles and our English IPA. 
So to make your job a little easier here is a brief description about each of the nameless beers.

Munich Helles:  This is a bavarian-style lager that is perfect for sweet summertime drinking.  It compliments lighter foods and has notes of lemon inside a medium bodied and mild grain style batch.  It accompanies seafood, pasta, and chicken dishes well especially if they are grilled. 

English IPA: This moderately bitter ale really captures the flavor of our English-style hops and is notably our "hoppiest" in the batch.  This beer is also delicious in the springtime and summertime and pairs well with a nice hearty meal as it is a higher concentration of alcohol per glass.  Who says the English didn't like a good buzz when drinking.  We are looking for a name of this beer that would include bunnies being that it is so "hoppy" and that its about this time of year you see more of them hopping about.

So I suppose we should include a few guidelines for this contest.  All entries can be submitted to brewmaster@purplehealerbrewery.com or as a comment to this post.  We would like to come up with a name soon so all entries should come our way by May7th.  With your entry please include the NEW beer name, reasoning why you made up that name, your name (it would be nice to give you credit) and a valid (why wold you fake it anyway) email address in which we can send you a big HOORAH if your beer name is chosen.

Winners will receive.....mad props for their creative ingeniousness and some sort of cool compensation probably in a drinkable form.  Winners also receive the golden opportunity to boast and brag to all of their friends that our fabulous beer earned its identity from your awesome, incredible brain.

So drink a few think of some ideas and send them our way.

"What Bunny Does Best"

The answer being 'hops'.

You also get the word Best involved - a semi-subliminal evocation of the term Best Bitter.
