Can you come up with a better name for the Wilfrometer?

While we thought the Wilfrometer was a pretty good name for our new beer filter, a number of people have suggested they could come up with something much better. Some pointedly asked why you would want to pour a beer through a Willy? Well, as Guy pointed out, if you're a bloke it'd going to go through one at some stage anyway!

So.. we're going to have a comp. If someone comes up with a name we like better than the Wilfrometer, we'll humbly accept defeat and reward that person with a beer and food matching dinner for two worth about $200.

I don't want to restrict creativity but we don't want the name to reference hops as there are many other non-hop ingredients we will be putting in it.

Post your suggestions below. We need to finalise a name before Friday Feb 4th.

Good luck!

    We're off to a great start Joe. Keep the ideas coming!

    Just a reminder to avoid hops or hop-related terms in the name.

    Steve Perhaps you've answered your own question with simply "Pour Willie" which will end up reading on the menu board as...

    Pour Willie's - dry roasted nuts in Lobethal Firetruck porter
    Pour Willie's - red plums in taddy porter
    Pour Willie's - galaxy confusion infusion
    Pour Willies - Mint Ninja and lichees
    Pour Willie's - long black coffee infused Temptress
    Pour Willie's - sour Feral Runt
    Pour Willie's - pride of Ringwood steamer
    Pour Willie's - Caramel elephant trunk
    Pour Willie's- lemon Redback
    Pour Willie's - strawberry saison
    Pour Willie's - lost Horizon Alpha pale
    Pour Willie's - Punch and Judy fuggles arrousal ale

    ... I'm sure you get the idea.

    Hey Steve, as you know I'm actually a big fan of The Wilfrometer as a name! The fact that the unit itself is kinda shaped like a terminators head and I could see it with a pair of bikies Ray Bans stuck on the front led me to my next best choice.

    Injecterator Injectomatic (maybe not great given yr location in StKilda)
    Addinator Add-o-matic or just Adam colloquially
    Impregnator. Oops that one might scare a few off
    Sucker (maybe she/he could have a name too, Sally/Sammy Sucker) .... Hop Sucker, Coffee Sucker, Mint Sucker.... you get it.
    Well that's enough silliness. Good Luck.
