As summer is upon us, and we now have a patio we can actually enjoy it on, we have been imbibing certain beverages with considerable frequency 
Yesterday, for example, we bought an amber ale called "Thirsty Beaver Ale." This, of course, produced much discussion on the subject of ahem... well.. "Thirsty Beavers" 
There is also a tasty red wine out there called "Fat Bastard."
More and more alcohols are sporting humorous names, the above are just two examples of some of those I've seen.
Any more out there that you've come across?

"Fat Bastard"? ROFL
The only alcohol I can think of here in Finland which has "humorous" name is ale called "Lapin Kulta" (in english something like "Gold of Lapland")

There's another red wine called Goats do Roam, which is rather tasty, as is fat bastard.
England is chock-a-block with daftly named beers. Old Peculier, Bishop's Finger, Old Speckled Hen, to name but three of my favourites.

My legs were completely gone , my upper body was fine, but legs had turned to rubber. Had to crawl up the stairs... where I decided to stay for the rest of the evening
Dodgy stuff...
Ofcourse there's Bull's Blood wine (Bulgarian I think)

Some of the Belgian beers have fairly amusing names:
"(Avec les) Bon Voeux (de la Brasserie)" ((With the) Best Wishes (of the Brewery))
"Dikke Mathilde" (Fat Mathilda)
"Dikkenek" (fat neck = pretentious person)
"Duvel" (indeed, devil)
"L'Espoir" (Hope)
"Facteurkensbier" (Little postman's beer)
"Flierefluiter" (good-for-nothing/idler)
"La Guillotine"
"Hellekapelle" (Hell's Chapel)
"Helleketelbier" (Hell's Cauldron beer)
"J'ai dix ans hi hi hi" (I'm ten years old heeheehee)
"Kwak" (well... quack)
"Lucifer"
"Lumière noire" (Black light)
"Ma chouette petite chope" (My lovely little pint/glass)
Old Musketeer
Paranoia
Pick-up pils
Satan
"Verboden Vrucht" (Forbidden Fruit)
and of course the ignominiously named "Bush beer" (in good company with Duvel, Satan & Lucifer)

| | In Thailand, they have this beer named "Singha."
Singha means lion and is pronounced "sing" (aspirated).
However, if you were a Filipino, you would read it as Sing-ha. "Sing-a" means something like to expel mucus from the nose.

Oh Belgian beers are dangerous: smooth, sweet and extremely alcoholic. Some of my best hangovers have been on Chimay.

I've recently become fond of a Quebec beer called 'La fin du monde', the End of the World. A 9% beer with live yeast in it. Amazing stuff, and it'll knock you right off your ass if you drink it wrong. Learnt that the hard way over this weekend.

Amusing names? The only one I've found, haven't tried it yet is Black Death Vodka.
I don't drink beer, ale or anything but liqour. As such, it's normally standard liqour I buy regularly. No fun with names there, but I tend to avoid reading anything anyways once I start doing shots.
