Innmates, help me name my beers!
Innmates,
As you may have know, I have been brewing my own beer for a little over a year now. Up until this point, I have used some very generic names - literally, just the style. "Yorkshire Brown Ale", "Belgian Blonde Ale", "Imperial Nut Brown Ale", etc.
I need to do better than that.
My "brewery" name is Confederate Dragon Brewery. Every bottle has a label featuring a red dragon in a Confederate uniform. This is cool, but good names would be epic. Care to help me out? I'd really like to do some fantasy themed names - or at least some with a nod towards fantasy.
Upcoming beers include a brown ale (a rebrew of the aforementioned Yorkshire brown ale), a Belgian golden strong ale (done in a style similar to how monks have been brewing according to tradition for a few hundred years), and a big Irish red ale.
Thanks for any input!

If I May....
A review from Odyson Bruin, the Legendary mixologist at The Red Dragon Inn, Audalis.
Golden Dragon Ale : Gold Dragons are wise, judicious, and benevolent. They often embark on self-appointed quests to promote goodness, and are not easily distracted from them. They hate injustice and foul play.
"This traditional Belgian golden strong ale is smooth yet bold. A flavorful “Goodness” that justly defeats those other foul brews."
The Red Dragon Ale: Red dragons are the most covetous and greedy of all dragons, forever seeking to increase their treasure hoards. They are obsessed with their wealth and memorize an inventory accurate to the last copper. They are confident and considering themselves superior not only to other dragons, but to all other life in general.
"A Rich masterful taste that is superior to those common brews. An excellent Irish Red Ale that brings the treasures you seek in fine micro brewed ales."
Bronze Dragon Ale: Bronze dragons are inquisitive and fond of humans. Bronze dragons thrive on simple challenges such as riddles and harmless contests. They will eagerly join an army if the cause is just.
"A Yorkshire brown ale that will add an advantage to any adventurous party. The bright flavor will add to fun and delight at any gathering of friends."
-----------------------
Ok a bit simple and obvious, but I feel fitting.
Also being that I haven't tasted these yet, it fulfills the "Fantasy" portion of naming.

yep
This is the sort of feedback I am going for.
Doesn't have to be dragon themed... just fantasy.

You can name all your beers after the voices of the mountains, and paint the labels with the colours of the wind!
Sorry, day drinking this fine Friday.

ok
Can we see a pic of the label? I think that would help me get a feeling for the theme.

well
I don't have lables yet for the new ones - they'll be drawn according to the name picked.
Here's a couple of past labels, however:

Very cool.
Don't know how far you're willing to go:
HOPgoblin
OwlBEER
Or more along the line of your original title:
Sovereign Sylvari
Country Gnome
Khordaldrum Kegmaster

Hmm...
Wouldn't something called Yorkshire Brown Ale, actually have to be an ale brewed in Yorkshire?
There is actually a real Yorkshire ale called Hobgoblin (which is quite nice).

Yorkshire
My Yorkshire brown uses a yeast strain from there. I have had Hobgoblin (from Whychwood) - it's one of my all time favorite beers, and was the beer that finally convinced me that I do enjoy the beverage.

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. And yeah, Hobgoblin is good!

Still laughing.. .
Hopgoblin... oh man that's funny.
I don't know anything about beer, but I'll ask some of my more clever beer drinking friends.
