(With a huge tip of the hat to my friend Mike VanDervort for the idea), and inspired by the impending union election at Creature Comforts, I asked Bard, Google’s AI assistant, the following question: “What are some good names for a union-free craft beer?”
Bard’s suggestions:
- Free Range Ale
- Independent IPA
- Maverick Pale Ale
- Unshackled Wheat
- Renegade Stout
- Free Spirit Saison
- Unbowed Brown Ale
- Unbound Amber Ale
- Defiant Pilsner
- Untamed IPA
- Wild Card Porter
But it is its rationale for choosing those names that is the most enlightening.
These names all convey the idea of being free from union control, while also being creative and catchy. They would be a good fit for a craft beer that is brewed by a small, independent brewery that values its employees and gives them a fair wage.
