Beer: Some Assembly Required

What you see here are the raw ingredients to a wheat beer that will be brewed sometime over the Christmas break by Mike and Brian, novice brewmasters.

We need some help with a name, because, frankly, "Hank's Hefeweizen" doesn't cut it. I promise one bottle of the beer to the person who thinks of the best name. While there are no restrictions on what the name should be, it will preferably involve some reference to Canada or winter, and an obscure academic theorist or theologian. If you really want to impress us, utilize part of a Pogues lyric. Also, the name should be really, really pretentious.

And, a note to all those who may be concerned: I understand that there are no bacterium fatal to humans that can survive in beer. So, if you drink it, you don't have to fear for your life. Your tastebuds, well, that's another matter.

If alliteration is worth anything...

Brother Brian's Backyard Brew

...or, following a Reformed seminarian theme...

Heretic's Pericope
Pecca Fortiter
or,
Old One Hundreth

Scotian Solstice?

Natal Canadian Ale? (natal for nativity: winter, Christmas...)

Bernard's Red Leaf?

Maple of Clairvaux?

Abelard's Youle?

Poor Clare's Moutnain Man? (as in St. Francis' female follwer)

Macrina's Fridgid Stout? (she was the sister of the Capadocian brothers, said to have been on par as her siblings)

Scathing Boltian Lager!!!!

Oh yeah, here is the link which hold the photos of my time on the Emerald Isle!
