A pale ale -- a *very* pale ale
We never thought we'd see the day, but now the toney Arlington Club in downtown Portland is going to start brewing its own beer. Gosh, there's so much comedy potential there, we don't know where to start. The beer is going to need a name -- and a slogan. Readers, let's all chip in and help the nice folks at the Arlington Club out with some suggestions.

Trust Fund Porter. After all, someone has to carry your trust fund.

How about "Redlining Red Ale"?

Fat Cat Stout? Wall Street Imperial? Or, Jack, how about Red Line Ale? Doubles as a transit mixer.

"Linchpin Lager" has a nice ring to it.

Excellent all! I'm laughing my a** off. It's often a bit divisive around here, good to see there's bipartisan humor aplenty. :)

They're too late - Portland Brewing already has a trademark on the most appropriate name they could choose.

It's because brewing our own beer is classier than making our own Kool-Aid.

Last night I yielded to temptation and bought a bottle of Arrogant Bastard Ale at the grocery store. According to the label, it is looking for worthy contenders for the title.

Gatherings were informal in the early days and remained so until 1881, when the Club was formally organized and the name Arlington was chosen. Just how that christening occurred is a matter of longstanding speculation. Perhaps it was derived from old English nomenclature in which Arlington signified the “finest” or “highest”.
“The Arlington Ale” where only club members and guests will be able to partake of the finest ingredients for the highest price of $100.00 per specially designed bottle.
