Ninkasi, the Sumerian Goddess of Brewing and Beer
Hymn to Ninkasi
Borne of the flowing water,
Tenderly cared for by the Ninhursag,
Borne of the flowing water,
Tenderly cared for by the Ninhursag,
Having founded your town by the sacred lake,
She finished its great walls for you,
Ninkasi, having founded your town by the sacred lake,
She finished it's walls for you,
Your father is Enki, Lord Nidimmud,
Your mother is Ninti, the queen of the sacred lake.

You are the one who handles the dough [and] with a big shovel,
Mixing in a pit, the bappir with sweet aromatics,
Ninkasi, you are the one who handles the dough [and] with a big shovel,

You are the one who bakes the bappir in the big oven,
Puts in order the piles of hulled grains,

The waves rise, the waves fall.

Coolness overcomes,
Ninkasi, you are the one who spreads the cooked mash on large reed mats,
Coolness overcomes,
You are the one who holds with both hands the great sweet wort,
Brewing [it] with honey [and] wine
(You the sweet wort to the vessel)
Ninkasi, (...)(You the sweet wort to the vessel)
The filtering vat, which makes a pleasant sound,
You place appropriately on a large collector vat.

When you pour out the filtered beer of the collector vat,
It is [like] the onrush of Tigris and Euphrates.

Ninkasi is the Sumerian goddess of brewing and beer and head brewer to the gods themselves. Her name means "the lady who fills the mouth" and her birth was formed of sparkling-fresh water. She who bakes with lofty shovel the sprouted barley, she who mixes the bappir-malt with sweet aromatics, she who pours the fragrant beer in the lahtan-vessel that is like the Tigris and Euphrates joined! Yes, she. Early brewers were primarily women, mostly because it was deemed a woman's job. Mesopotamian men, of some 3,800 years ago, were obviously complete assclowns and had yet to realize the pleasure of brewing beer.

I had cats named Patty, Maxine and Laverne after the Andrews sisters. Laverne was a boy and had a major identity crisis.
A friend of a friend of mine had Emma, Jane and Charlotte after the Bronte sisters. Her own name was very fanciful (she was born during the 70s, think Rainbow or Chablis). My friend used to say it was like the cats named her.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Cool. You get your beer name and your wife gets a name no one else will have thought of.
Donate. One day it could be your family.

Everyone else gets a name they can't pronounce without sounding like you have a broken tongue.

You mumbled something about "knowing what side of the bread is buttered." We also agreed to rate down BT as much as possible.

In all honesty if I had a cat it's name would be Janis or Bob depending on gender.
