Double HOPnob IPA

Craft beer brewers/lovers love wordplay. We decided to call our latest brew Double HOPnob IPA.


Definitions from Urban Dictionary.
Hobnob v 1. to mingle, usually with the upper class of society.

The verb hobnob originally meant “to drink together” and occurred as a varying phrase, hob or nob, hob-a-nob, or hob and nob, the first of which is recorded in 1763.
"After the opera, we hobnobbed with the foreign heads-of-state."
To hobnob means to chat and share a laugh and a drink in the presence of other people at a function or party.
I do love hobnobbing at all those various hobnob do's that I do go too.

Or

Quit yo hobnobbing beeatch before I bitchslap you round the face!!
Brewers use hops, a small bitter flowering plant, to provide a counterbalancing aroma and taste to beer. The basic idea is not unlike what you would find in a good wine. As you drink, the malty beer washes over your tongue, bringing you body and sweetness. As you swallow, the hops hit the bitter taste buds in the back of your mouth, serving as a tonic, leaving (hopefully) a refreshing taste.
You hate beer — if you do hate beer — because most of the beers you've tried are unbalanced. All you can taste is hops. And with nothing to balance them, hops taste nasty.
British slang term for the penis. Typically used as an excellent cheap insult. Used in jest (above "moron", just below "twat", and well below "cunt"), or used to describe someone who is doing something you think is annoying or a bit crap.
Scenario 1: one of your friends walks into the room and throws an apple at you. You reply: "Don't be a nob."

Scenario 2: your aging boss thinks he has broken his laptop because the battery ran out. You say: "Hah. He's such a nob."

Scenario 3: you have gonorrhoea, and it's making your nob hurt. 
Obviously there is more to this name then we are telling you but it's an 'in' joke. Perhaps not the best name for a commercial beer (lucky it isn't one!) . 
Below is the label and a poster you can print out and stick to yr wall.
