For instance, I just finished making a Belgian-style golden strong ale that I call "Pullotettu Saatana" (Bottled Satan in English)

One of my first beers I watched in horror as a fly landed on the wort during boil and get subducted in never to be seen again. Named that beer Insecticide. Turned out pretty good.

At least it was during the boil? :)

I have two long hair cats. I'm sure there is some level of cat fur in all of my brews.

Cats make everything better. I fail to see how making beer would be an exception, even if it means a bit of fur here and there :)

Idk my cat is just an asshole, and I keep him out of the basement so he doesn't steal my o-rings.

Oh man, the horror but also the awesomeness!

Accidentally created what tasted to me fairly close to Wychwood Brewery's Hobgoblin. Called it HobbyGobby

I'm really not creative at all about naming my beers. But then it's not hard to distinguish my beers as I don't brew as often as I used to. So I can refer to my beers as "the 2022 Czech Dark Lager", "the 2021 10° Vienna Lager", "that Saphir-hopped German Pilsner" and "last year's osmička" (osmička is a Czech term for a beer with 8°P original gravity).
