![]() “We came up with the name when we saw everyone trading our beer all over the country. It is a New England style hazy IIPA hopped with Mosaic, Vic Secret and Simcoe. Going along with this theme of beer trading, Burgeon Beer Company in Carlsbad, California named their latest beer Trade Bait. Having beer buddies located in different places around the world allows you to set up trades to try beers from those areas. Some beers are nearly impossible to get unless you trade for them. If you’ve been in the beer world for awhile, you might be familiar with trading. We’ve been making it for 2+ years now, ” Dande Bagby – Owner Trade Bait | Burgeon Beer Company Photo Credit: Brandon Oblenes As soon as we had the right beer to match the name, we went for it. We first heard this phrase from our friend Melanie Pierce, a big craft beer fan and a close friend of ours. It can refer to having a bad day or to being hungover or anything else that is disabling your ability to function normally – depending how rough you are, you can be riding the struggle bus, or driving it! We like to say it is a perfect hangover beer, as a ‘hair of the dog’ – have a Struggle Bus to make it right. “The name…for most people when they hear “struggle bus” they immediately know what it means. It is very light and crisp on the palate, with some really nice hop aromas and flavors. Struggle Bus is an extra pale ale brewed primarily with cascade hops.

What better way to offer a tribute to the breweries and their sense of humor than getting it straight from the source?

Fans showcase their favorite pints, can designs, and bottles on their pages spreading their love for their favorite breweries. Breweries are almost solely represented by their beers across social media now. Keeping this in mind, I would argue that naming beer is not only an art form, but is as equally important as the naming of a brewery. It’s how we relate to one another or a subject matter. Names are a very important part of every culture and we use names within language to communicate, categorize and understand.
