What is the Beer Name Generator?
A craft beer name has three jobs: sound fun, hint at the flavour and look good on a can. This tool pairs punchy adjectives with animals or objects and a beer style, and the customise panel adds hops, fruits and breweries.
How to use it
Use it for a home brew, a micro-brewery, a seasonal release, a label design or a fictional pub. Save your favourites, and check trademark and brewery registers before you brew a batch.
What makes a good beer name?
The main trap is a name that only lands if you already know the joke. Tap lists are scanned quickly, so favour names that sound appetising even when the reference is missed.
Tips for better results
Put your actual hops and fruit into the customiser, then say the name as it would appear on a tap list. Check the trademark register before you brew a commercial batch.
Where these names come from
Every beer name on Smerble is built from its own word lists and patterns. The generator mixes them at random, and a no-repeat bag system means the same combination will not come up twice in a row. Everything runs in your browser as you click, so nothing is sent to us.
Frequently asked questions
Is the beer name generator free to use?
Yes. Every Smerble generator is free, with no account, no sign-up and no limit on how many names you generate.
Can I add my own words?
Yes. Open the Customize panel on this page, type your own options separated by commas, and press Suggest. Any field you leave blank is filled in for you.
What kind of names will I get?
Adjective-and-animal names with style suffixes, hop and fruit pairings, strength and season variants for homebrew and micro-breweries.
Can I use the names commercially?
You can use the names you generate however you like. For a business, product or brand, check that the domain and trademark are available first, since Smerble does not verify those.
