IPA Name Help

Post by John Sand »

I've brewed two versions of an IPA based on a Munich Helles kit. I added grain and hops, then split it between US-05 and WLP530. The first version was a IIPA that I called What the Munich Helles, which is fun, but a little wordy. For the current versions I though of A Lesser Hell, or Imperial Helles, or Emperor of Munich. But I'm not wedded to any of them. The grist is Pilsner, Munich, Melanoidin, hops are Chinook, Cascade and Horizon. Names for both the US and Belgian versions would be great. Any suggestions?

I like A Lesser Hell(e) myself. My stupid names aren't usually ones I think of but I may hear something in a conversation or say something that just rings a bell to me and then usually brew a beer to match a name. But I'm arse backwards.

Going to Hell IPA sounds great.
I'm happy to hear more ideas, especially as I have two versions.

I think Going to Hell and Mad as Helles are the winners.
Great replies, thank you all.
