The name game...

Alternative #1:
Super Pixie 40 = SP40 = Special Project 40 !

(BTW, the thesarus in my word processor
comes up with "plan" for the word project,
and the synonym of "brew." Alternative #2:
Special Brew 40? = SB-40.

Taking off on "special," we get "unique."
Alternative #3: Unique Brew 40 = UB-40 (Like, U-boat 40)
(Unique synonym's = "uncommon" and "unusual.")

Okay, that's enough... ;-)
