FAQ

What makes a craft beer pun different from a generic one?

It uses a real term, a hop variety, a brewing step or a style, correctly, so a craft drinker recognizes the reference instead of just the word swap.

What's a good pun for a dry-hopped IPA label?

"Dry-hopped and ready to talk about it" plays on both the brewing term and the beer-talk cliche, which is the kind of double meaning craft drinkers actually notice.
