\"Upright<\/a>So we just closed out our last beer naming contest with Jolly Pumpkin and we know your brain is tired from the effort that went into coming up with so many killer names, but we need your help again!\u00a0 We had so much fun allowing our members and the beer community at large to name several of last year\u2019s Rare Beer Club\u00ae<\/a> exclusives that we\u2019ve decided to ramp up our game this year and have no less than three beer naming contests in the queue this year.\u00a0 And since the beers we\u2019re naming will be featured in July, August and September, we\u2019re going to be running back to back contests for the next two months.\u00a0 All in all, you\u2019ll have 3 chances to name one of our up and coming beers and win a 6-month, 2-bottle membership to The Rare Beer Club. How cool is that?<\/p>\n

This time we\u2019re working with Upright Brewing<\/a> up in Portland, OR.\u00a0 I\u2019m a big fan of Alex\u2019s work.\u00a0 I want to say they launched in 2009, about 3 years before we featured them for the first time, and I\u2019ve been rattling his cage ever since to work with us again.\u00a0 He\u2019s a busy cat.\u00a0 Straight up, one of the biggest challenges we face is planning far out enough to be able to feature the world\u2019s best breweries.\u00a0 Makes sense if you think about it. They make the best beer.\u00a0 Everyone wants it.\u00a0 Supply and demand baby. Supply and demand.\u00a0 Anyway, we finally have liftoff Houston and it\u2019s gonna be worth the wait.<\/p>\n

Alex makes some of the best saisons in the country so we\u2019re thinking it\u2019s best to let him run wild with that and have some fun with hops and brett!\u00a0 Here\u2019s what he had to say about the project, \u201cThe more I think about it, I keep going back to a hoppy saison for an August feature. We have\u00a0Five, which is kind of a pale ale crossed with European hopping and a somewhat clean “French-style” fermentation, but I’m thinking something way different, more like a Belgian IPA with some brettanomyces added at bottling, so it will start clean but get slightly earthy and a bit more tart over time.\u201d<\/p>\n

You know the drill by now, but just the same, here are the vital bits that you need to know about the contest:<\/span><\/p>\n

You can submit<\/a> up to three names by 2 pm PDT on Thursday, April 14th<\/sup>. Three finalists will be announced on Friday, April 15th<\/sup> at which time contest entrants, club members and the general public will be allowed to vote for their favorite choices. Contest winners will be announced on Friday, April 22nd<\/sup>. If your beer name is used, we\u2019ll hook you up with a 6-month, 2-bottle membership to The Rare Beer Club.<\/p>\n

To receive this RBC exclusive beer, you\u2019ll need to be an active member of The Rare Beer Club in August of 2016 when it will be featured.<\/p>\n

Alex\u2019s only request on the name is to keep it short so that it works with his current label design\u2026Like real short, preferably 10 characters or less so you\u2019re gonna have to really get creative this time.\u00a0 Have fun!<\/p>\n

Prost!
