The Rare Beer Club® thanks all who participated in the naming contest for our upcoming exclusive beer from Rowley Farmhouse Ales. We enjoyed reviewing the 220+ entries which were as fun and clever as in past contests. Thank you for that.
It’s always a challenge to whittle down a sizable list of great beer names to just three finalists, but John, Rick and I spent a couple hours laboring over our favorites and now you and your friends get to pick the winner!
As a reminder, here is how the upcoming beer was described for the entrants:
“It’s our homage to Scandinavian farmhouse ales, which are lesser known, but have been brewed longer than the classic Belgian and French versions. Our take on this historic style contains a portion of birch smoked malt and was mashed and lautered over a false bottom of locally foraged juniper.”
Without further ado, here are the finalists:
Smoldering Fjord
The Smoking Swede
Mäns Hälsa (“men’s health” in Swedish)
