Title
The album title is a sardonic reference to the Beer Hall Putsch, the failed 1923 Nazi coup attempt. On a podcast with Bill Burr, Stanhope explained the choice of title, saying: "[The] Beer Hall Putsch was Hitler's failed attempt to overthrow the German government... And they'd all meet in beer halls and they'd rile each other up and scream and yell about the government and all that... But [Hitler] got them all to take to the streets finally to go overthrow the government and a few people got shot and he [Hitler] ran like a pussy. So that's the significance, is I talk a lot of shit, but when it comes down to it, I don’t do anything. I just yell in bars, is my point."
