DH has decided that over the Easter break (he has taken one week annual leave), it is an opportune moment to start his microbrewery project in our back garden. This is despite the three-day break at Center Parcs we have booked for next weekend.
DH has bought all the equipment he needs, which is currently piled up on the immaculate Victorian tiles in our hallway, and we have a large shed in the garden where he is going to assemble it. He tells me he is going to disassemble his "Hornby" and start the brewery.
I am not adverse to starting a micro brewery per se. After all, DH and I met at university (Oxford) over a pint of Carlsberg in the college bar, which I think at the time was about £1.00 a pint. I quite like a beer every now and then.
I am fully supportive of my DH "entrepreneurial" activities.
What I am not so keen on is what my DH has decided to call his beer. He has bought bottles already (brownies) and has had some labels made. I think this is a little pre-emptive, given that he has never actually brewed anything at all yet, nor in his life.
The labels that DH has made call his beer "Old Speckled Hetty". A play on "Old Speckled Hen" of course. Except, who is Hetty? I am. What is old and speckled? Well, I will leave that to your imagination, but I do acknowledge that my derrière does not quite look the same as it used to, especially after my two pregnancies.
AIBU to say that DH cannot call his beer "Old Speckled Hetty" and that he should choose another name? I have tried suggesting other names to him such as:
"Fulham Pull'em" or "Oxbridge Cox" etc.
Do you have any other suggestions?
