This is the name used on the main label. Often this is the same as the brand, so an extra specification is needed. For instance for {{product|5410228158424}} the main name is Hoegaarden, but below is specified it concerns ''Wit - Blanche''. Use '''Blanche''' before the brand '''Hoegaarden''' for nice readability of the title of the product page.

It turns out that dtermining the product name for beers is quite obscure. Usually we call the beers by brand name, such as "may I have another Heineken" or "pass me the Coors". This does however say nothing about the product. Both Heineken and Coors market more than one product. So We have to look at the smaller print on the label. We might find sublines such as "Best Lager", "Belgian Trappist Beer", "Wheat Beer", etc. This is much more appropriate as product name. And do not worry about the brand, you will be entering it later. And it will show up on the title of the product page as well.

Any product name should be limited to what we find on the label. If you really can not find a product name, do you have a beer in your hand? Are the ingredients water, barley malt and hops? Then just enter '''Beer''' as product name.
