    These are some examples of names of beverages that have caught my eye and tickled my taste buds. Knob Creek is a bourbon of exceptionally high calibre, Bishops Finger is a fruity ale, ideal for the hot Summer evenings and Fat Bastard is a bottle of wine suitable for nothing more than cleaning toilets.

    So, any other unusually named beverages out there?

    Well there is the underwhelmingly named Ed's Red from California

    Of course there's also Arrogant Bastard Ale

    And also Polygamy Porter, with their wonderful tag line

    Bishops Finger is more of an alcoholic laxative than anything.

    Tastes nice though:)

    Bishops Finger is up their with my favourite drinks. Great taste but you should probably only drink 2 at most in one night because the taste gets kinda ruined.

    I got a knob creek and a stiffy in me local last week, barman didnt find me asking for a stiff knob funny at all.

    Blonde biddy and black biddy are another two.

    I worked in a pub that sold Knob Creek, always had a laugh if someone asked for a double I'd ask them back "So you want a large Knob yeah?"

    There's also...

    Moose Drool is a brown beer from Montana and it's every bit as tasty as the name is not! Had a few on a trip to the States last year.

    The name isn't everything but I wouldn't be too quick to try these, though:

    Brutal Bitter (0regon)
    Dead Guy Ale (Oregon)
    Arrogant Bastard (California)
    Gumballhead (Indiana)
    Yokel (Wisconsin)
    Hog Heaven (Colorado)
    Blind Pig (California)
    Puritan Porter (England)

    If they ever make a Carry On Beer film they could use these, all of which do exist:

    Doggie Style Pale Ale (Colorado)
    Kiltlifter (Arizona)
    Black Butte Porter (Orgeon)
    Black Shag Stout (New Zealand)
    Smuttynose Robust Porter (New Hampshire)
    Con Domus (Belgium)
    Stallion (Yorkshire)
    Stud (Yorkshire)

    Guess who got a book about world beers for Christmas? ;)

    There's nothing I like better than a cold bishop's finger inside me on a Sunday afternoon.
