BeerAdvocate/Dogfish Head

BeerAdvocate's sixth annual Extreme Beer Fest is coming up in February. Along with the fest, Dogfish Head and the BeerAdvocate will be brewing a new beer:

Speaking of raising the bar, the Alström Brothers are scheduled to brew a limited release beer on December 9 with Sam Calagione and Lead Brewer Bryan Selders at the original Dogfish Head brewpub on Rehoboth Beach in Delaware.

BeerAdvocate recently had a contest to name the beer. Users were urged to email their best name. The entries were widdled down to the top ten. Now the BeerAdvocate users are voting on those top ten names.

Info on the beer being brewed:

Inspired by a shared love and respect for America's extreme beer movement, Italy's emerging craft beer scene, and the kitchen sink attitude and devilish drinkability found in Belgian brewing, the collaborative recipe is the result of numerous emails and phone calls discussing the ingredients, final characteristics, and new ways to look at extreme brewing. Jason, Todd, Sam, and Bryan each provided unique spins to ensure maximum off-centeredness and deliciousness.
Ingredients:
- Maple Syrup (Grade A, Massachusetts)
- Chestnuts
- Green Peppercorns
- Korean Corn Tea "Oksusu-cha"
- Fawcett's Maris Otter Base Malt
- Dash of MFB Kiln Coffee Malt
- Liberty & Vanguard hops
- Dogfish Head's Raison D'Etre House Yeast Strain
- Aiming for 8% ABV

My entry , are you ready for it, was: Cornucopismo

Come on. That is good, right? Definitly worthy of a place in the top ten. Think again. I guess they did'nt get it or it's just really stupid. Here are the top ten:

Neinheitsgebot
Charlie Foxtrot
BAcchanaleia
The Manticore
Moby Dick
Sinzibuckwud Nigrum Oksusu-cha
Silk Road Vanguard
Reinheitsge-not
Dongji Sunrise Fusion
Up Up Down Down Left Right
Left Right BA Select

Seriously? Oh brother. I'm not going to complain, but I have major problems with some of those names (I mean...two variations on Reinheitsgebot). Oh well.
