Amusing beer quiz on the BBC’s website. 20 perfectly plausible names for real ales, but which are real and which are made up.
I managed a distinctly average 12 and can admit to having heard of hardly any of them.
Enjoy.

Blue Boy says
somewhat remarkably I got 15 out of 20; ‘remarkably’, because precisely one of these was not a complete guess.
Mike_H says
12/20 here. Mostly wild guesses.
Gatz says
13 – I had a bad run of 5 wrong answers in a row in the middle.
aardvarknever says
15/20 – all guesses – I’m pleased!
bungliemutt says
8/20 – all guesses – I’m gutted!
retropath2 says
15/20 and I had actually heard of only 1 (and then got that wrong!!)
Scarlet says
12/20.
Went in confident that I’d’ve at least drunk a couple of them and ended up conceding that I clearly have a long way to go.
duco01 says
12/20
Poor effort from duco
But I’ve got a good excuse.
I don’t drink beer.
The last beer I had was sometime in 1987. No, it’s true.
Jackthebiscuit says
10 / 20 – all guesses.
Rigid Digit says
14 / 20
Some I’m sure I’ve drunk (or at least seen). Others were complete guesses.
Adds weight to my belief that brewers spend just as much time brewing as they do making up daft names.
“Badger’s Furry Pocket may not be real, but does sound like a euphemism for something.
And Moose Drool … has the AWs favourite double entendre merchant gone into the world of beer?
Mike_H says
Must be something Mini said…
minibreakfast says
He wouldn’t be the first person I’ve driven to drink.
count jim moriarty says
17/20. Obviously all the time I’ve spent in pubs was worth it. Only one I’d heard of was …SPOILER ALERT… Wonkey Donkey.
If I had all the money I’ve spent on drink, I’d spend it on drink.
Obviously, later this evening I’ll be opening a nice bottle of wine…
bobness says
13, all guesses.
My fave of any I know is one I had in Brooklyn. Can’t remember the brewery, but the beer was called “You never take me anywhere nice…”
