Hop BroBaird Brewery Garden Shuzenji has chosen Berried The Punchline as the official name for its new fruit beer!
MugiWhoa, that name already sounds like a pun! What does berries and punchlines mean for the beer?
Hop BroIt was selected from TICF's Name This Beer Contest, submitted by @mike.staffa. It riffs on the phrase buried the punchline.
MugiWhat is that? Is a punchline a line where punches are waiting? My brain is wearing boxing gloves!
Hop BroClose! A punchline is the payoff to a joke. The name swaps “buried” for Berried: berry-filled, making it a playful beer pun.
MugiNice! So berries might go wild in your mouth and hide the joke? That strawberry emoji clue has me curious!
Hop BroThe fun part is that the style, ABV, ingredients, and release details have not been announced yet. So the flavor remains unknown.
MugiNo way! I was already picturing a pink, sweet-tart drink. So the recipe is under wraps!
Hop BroBaird Beer, based in Shuzenji in Izu, embraces local ingredients, historic styles, and seasonal releases with ideas beyond the usual.
MugiInviting fans to name a beer fits that spirit perfectly. Until the announcement, I am starting a berry prediction club!
Hop BroMaybe it will be a tart sour, or an ale that lets fruit aromas shine—my fermentation imagination is running wild! For now, watch for official updates.
MugiWhen the details arrive, let's toast in Shuzenji! Name and flavor alike make Berried The Punchline something I want to drink now!
