Loving these entries!!

@Martynt74 , @MikeTheNative and I repeated our entries from round K, I have to admit I was hoping they wouldn't do that.
@Repta & @Russinating also repeat the same entry so Russinating's hopes played out there. I appreciated the music pairing.
@Sonea Fifer & @weringo also doing likewise.
Special mention to @Executive Beef for thinking outside the box, I was wondering if such a beer existed & also to @Feek to whom I awarded a generous bonus point for his reasoning.
@Ahleckz gets the 2 bonus points for his strong entry. Did you know about Meabh when you found it or was it luck?


Next round: R - Red ale (or ruby) - Self explanatory (28th August)

Bonus Points - 1pt for Weakest ABV (N/A beers will not count)

Ooooft! I managed to find a beer at half four. I was in a good booze shop, buying a bottle of ‘Honeybucket by Holy Goat’ as it had a bee on the label and I was going to claim it was a queen bee… as I was paying, and having spent 15 minutes looking at every beer they had, I asked “any chance you have a beer on with queen in the name?”. The shop worker next to the checkout guy had the bottle I bought in his hand. So complete luck.

The bee would only have worked if it had a crown on. And the queen bee doesn't actually collect pollen/nectar so it would have been a peasant worker bee.
I read the name out to my missus, I can pronounce Meabh but wasn't sure on the Rua. Her instant response was "Queen Meabh?" I hadn't got to your 2nd pic at that point.
Rua is a translation of Marie apparently.

Man if I’d known Queen related beers would’ve been allowed j almost bought one called Bohemian Raspberry but assumed it wouldn’t be allowed :(

This is why the theme was Queen and not THE Queen or A Queen. It was a subtle touch that I'm glad someone picked up on.
But it would depend on the artwork of the can/bottle as it would have to reference the greatest band ever in some way rather than just be a punny beer name.
 
Realised I missed off the bonus point criteria for next week, we're not having any more of that awful N/A beer being submitted, not that I think an N/A Red Ale actually exists as its an acquired to taste to begin with and not many breweries produce with them these days.
