Coming up with new beer names, let alone great beer names, isn't easy, especially in the state with 115 breweries, each cooking anywhere from five to 65 different beers a year.

But brewers are nothing if not creative - and occasionally, um, irreverent. Listed below are ten fantastic beer names that were either in the news, newly released or spent some time in my fridge recently. But what about the beers themselves?

Last week, GQ magazine put out a list of fifty beers to try before you die. Some of the suggestions were great; others were questionable. Not enough were from Colorado.

So, we're coming up with our own bucket list of Colorado beers. What would you put on it? Let me know by posting below, sending an email to café@westword.com or finding me on Twitter at @ColoBeerMan.
