Unforgettable Product Names: If Delirium Tremens Doesn’t Do It, La Guillotine Will
The Huyghe Brewery in Melle, Belgium is no stranger to beer aficionados, but it also knows how to catch the attention of casual pint drinkers with its attention-grabbing, somewhat frightening product names.

You can even use them in your cooking. Here is a recipe for fillet of wolf fish with leek, courgette, mild curry and La Guillotine.
