Beer Namer FAQs

Here are some answers to the most frequently asked questions on BeerNamer.com.

1. How do I get the best possible names from Beer Namer generators? Keep in mind that describers, such as attitude, will pair better with things that can have attitude, such as animals and humans, but not with inanimate things, such as rocks. This version of Beer Namer is just as capable of creating great names as nonsensical ones. Also, be sure to vote for the names you like and the names you think are dumb. This information will help me fine-tune the algorithms for better quality names.

2. Why do I see some names from the generators duplicated in the results? Since some libraries are somewhat small, such as soccer phrases, there will be some duplicated names in soccer phrase results. This problem will go away as the libraries grow and I enhance the generators.

3. How do I change the beer I brewed in the DIY generator? Go to any of the other generators and click the Change Beer Type button, then return to the DIY generator. Sorry for the inconvenience. This feature is in development.

4. When I click on a link, nothing happens. Be sure to set your browser to accept popup windows, since some of the confirmations and site details are presented in popups.

5. The website looks all jumbled up in my browser. Beer Namer was written and tested in an IE 8 environment. Please let me know the browser name and version you are using, via the Contact Me form, so that I can test it and fix the layout.

6. How soon will members start seeing information about homebrew product discounts and specials? As soon as the agreements are in place with online retailers. No date has been set yet for this, but is expected in the coming weeks.
