Move over Olympics, here comes Shark Week!!!

It's that time again.  The most wonderful week of television viewing of the year, Shark Week!  While typically in July, Shark Week got deferred due to those pesky Olympics.  Michael Phelps, who??? The 25th anniversary of Shark Week stops for no man.  It would definitely be an appropriate week to buy a few dogfish head ales and kick back and watch the sharks fly.  In honor of this most cherished week, I brewed a bourbon stout.  Anyone got an idea for a name?  Big Bite Bourbon Stout?  Sounds Ok, but I need something better.  When naming a beer always remember, people love alliterations.  It's fool proof.
