name?

ok, so im going to make a thread to decide on a name for the future brewery. i have some time since my first brew hasnt even made it to the bottle yet but let me know what you think. i may add more as i come up with them.

so far:

double hat brewing
negative camber brewing

i have ideas for labels for both if i get that far.

OK, here goes:

Double Hat is too much like Magic Hat.
Negative camber? WTF is that? If people need a dictionary to figure it out, it's probably not a good name.

But what do I know.

EDIT: I know what a negative camber is, it's just a bit too "inside" for my tastes.

hmm, never thought about the relation to magic hat, it was my wifes idea, a nickname we use for our dog when she does this crazzy thing with her ears.

negative camber is a car term common in the minitruck world but would make sense to almost ever custom car guy. it could give me the option of a lot of beer names.

I had to look it up, but I like negative camber. Nothing wrong with a name like that. I agree that double hat is too much like magic hat.

For what it's worth, I thought of airfoils vice car stuff. "The AH-1W Cobra has a negative camber on its horizontal stabilizer." That statement sticks in my head as an example used of a negative camber during flight school.

im sure it has a lot of different uses, thought it would be a decent way to relate back to my love of custom rides but not use something like lugnut or driveshaft brewing.

For the sake of argument, what does Oscar Blues mean or refer to?
DogFish Head?

Good point. I reverse my stance after further thought. Negative Camber is actually growing on me.

before you made the relation to magic hat obvious i thought for sure double hat would win the crowd over here. i do like the way negative camber will bring two of my hobbies together.

so my idea for a label is a head on shot of a beer bottle laying down with tires negatively cambered attached like the front of a car. not sure i have the artistic talent to make it work though. i will have to play around some.

I had always assumed that it meant the head of a dogfish. But I see your point, and cast my vote for Negative Camber.

two more to add to the list, both coming from my other hobbies.

bokeh brewing
5 liter brewing

i think those are the last of them unless something amazing strikes.

+1 Negative Camber. Shecky, you've been in the brew shed way too long.
I know what a negative canbeer is and I'm a girl.

awesome, not many girls i know know what it means. unless they are into minitrucks that is.

Double Hat + Negative Camber = Double Negative

is that another name option, or both original options suck?

I think it is all about you Nvr2low. Go with the name you personally like. Everyone has a vision in their head from their own experiences in life as to what a word means (if that makes any sense...lol) If you like what the word or fraze means go for it.....

I like Negative Camber. Maybe it is because mine is Adverse Yaw. I know it is planes vs automobiles, but I still like it.

I did it myself, but I didn't draw it. I bought a month subscription to (I think it was) clipart.com and then I used gimp to add the text.
