I'm heading over to eastern Oregon this weekend for a book signing and brewery event.  2 breweries in Redmond, Wild Ride and Juniper, have collaborated on a version of my American mild and profits will be going to their local animal shelter.  I'm really happy about that and honored by the whole thing.  They sent me a copy of the label this AM and I'm just not sure how I feel about it..although at this point I really have no say!  Am I just being a cranky old curmudgeon...again?

Very cool being on the label and awesome that the profits go to a good cause. Seems like a strange name for a mild. The other "morning wood" named beers out there are barrel aged and/or coffee beers.

Yep, very cool. But I agree the name doesn't really add up. Don't take it personally!

Absolutely.  I'm kinda bewildered, but honored.

lol...if it's me, i'd laugh. it's a catchy name and label. i think that's all. i'm just surprised the ugly mug in the picture didn't break the camera.

although, if it's your recipe, i think they should have consulted with you regarding the name and label...that would just be the professional thing to do.

Not enough 'hand' in handsome.

It's cool Denny. I like that they're making your beer and then proceeds go to the animal shelter. Roll with it!

[denny]

Yeah, maybe it's just my elderly sense of humor, but I find the name a bit sophomoric.  But the rest is really cool and I'm honored that they're doing it.  I'll live.

I think it is out of place... that ABV 4.0% I mean. I would expect your photo with what I thought was a trademark pony tail.  Nice honor!

[SchwanzBrewer]

Such beautiful flowing hair!

[denny]

I never do the ponytail since I stopped working.  It's to symbolize the freedom from repression! 

 

Well, the name has been changed to "Denny's Murican Mild Ale".  I showed the previous label to some friends and brewery owners.  They pretty much fell off their bar stools laughing.

OMG he has a hoodie on.

Is the description supposed to say 'Bold mouthful' or 'Bold mouthfeel'?

 

Cool thing they're doing!

[denny]

It's supposed to be mouthfeel

As I get older, I find the sophomoric less humorous.

 

Duh, I bet that's why they call it sophomoric.

 

Just call me Captain Obvious.
