Name an accountant's ale

Name an accountant's ale

Didn't find your answer?

Duncan & Toplis are looking for suggestions to name their latest signature ale. The last ale the accounting firm concocted was named Capital grains.

Duncan & Toplis’ latest brew is an English tawny pale ale infused with a double entry of spicy Challenger and Styrian Golding hops, which creates the peppery aroma and fruit biscuit flavour.

Entrants can contact the firm with suggestions by emailing [email protected] with your full name and contact details, and the firm will be calling last orders on the competition on the 27 April.

Here at AccountingWEB we are not only fans of both a good tipple but we also love a good pun. I have scratched my noggin and the best I can come up with is ‘entrepreneur’s relief’.

I know you can do better than that. So sip back your favourite ale and let us know what you would call an accounting-themed-ale.

Well here on any answers we frequently see a lot of Hogwash, but sadly that name is already taken.

If Any Answers is anything to go by, naming it "16/17 Optimum Salary" would see it in high demand.

Has no-one suggested Double Entry?

There exists an Audit Ale (Westerham Brewery) which has an ABV of 6.2%. There is also a whisky called VAT69 but that is off topic so we won't go there.

Other suggestions ....

Introvert Ale

Liquid Asset

Net Profit (with an appropriate ABV percentage)

A beer someone else drinks for you: 64-8

Alcohol free beer for accountants: Xero Percent

They can all be found in a fictional pub: Rovers Tax Return, which serves food and drink but puts random descriptions such as office supplies on its receipts.

Ridiculous !

VAT wasn't introduced until '73.

How about a pint of

myjobdemandsthatIdrinkthisnectar.

An unassuming little number that is certainly not boring.

Can be enjoyed on an empty stomach and is particularly good at month end.

To be used in conjunction with a personal allowance of not more than 14 units per week.

Alcohol content 4% as calculated on the super, duper formula driven spreadsheet.

I used to work in a firm competing with D&T so I would probably go for The Antagonist's Ale.

Given the beer guts on some of my esteemed colleagues, I was thinking Long-Term Liability might be appropriate.

But another part of me thinks Firkin Clients might be good too.
