PASSIONATE RATIONS

I just realized my favorite dance lends itself extremely well as a name for a micro-brew: Lindy Hops.

Not only does the name reference the great swing dance known as Lindy Hop–with all the style and bold flavor that implies (to the delight, I am sure, of any would-be marketers)–it also plays on a key ingredient in many beers (hops).

Unfortunately, I hate hoppy beer.

As my friends and more dedicated readers know, I’m into the smoother, sweeter stuff (all hail Belgian ale).

Still, it might be worth it just to use the name. I’ve been wanting to try home brew….
