Which Brewery Name

captianoats · Jun 6, 2009

So lately I've been tossing around ideas to call my homebrewery, since it looks like you guys forced me into being a homebrewer for life

. I'm thinking Houndsons, since I have two beagles (see, hound-sons). The SWMBO is wants me to call it Pats Blue Ribbon since my name is Patrick and she thinks it's funny. Thought I would get some input from you all.

Houndsons sounds good to me!

I definitely like Houndsons better.

Both are good -- but I chuckled at Pats Blue Ribbon -- so it gets the nod from me.

It's just my personal opinion, but I can say with confidence that I would not want my brewery name associated, or mistaken with Pabst Blue Ribbon.

She's not SWMBO without the O.

I should have read the description of the names before I voted. I have two mutts, a Rott/Shepherd mix, and a Shepherd/Terrier mix (but I'm just guessing). I made a Barking Mutt IPA once, and when I get more serious into brewing - soon, I hope - I was thinking of Two Mutt Brewing. I'd say go with Houndsons Brewing. Are they both male? If so, you could go with The Hound Sons Brewery. (My two are my kids, the big guy, and my little girl. She's five and he's four. If I could get SS# for 'em, I would.)

I've asked this before, and I'll ask again. What does "SWMBO" stand for? I've found that it's pretty much to everybody's interpretation, so what does the "O" stand for you?

On second thought: If you brew award winning beers, maybe Pat's Blue Ribbon would fit well.

Hey man that beer got me through my days as a young broke private in the Army.

I dig the houndsons, more of a personal touch.

Dogs and Puns are both OVERUSED in brewery and beer names.... find a third is my vote.

SWMBO = She who must be obeyed

I voted for "Pat's." I figure it never hurts to have your wife feels like she owes you, even in some small way.

The best I've come up with is "She Who Must Be Obeyed".

Yeah, I was trying to cleverly imply that you should obey your wife & go with the name she picked. Apparently I'm not as clever as I thought, since I have to explain. Anyways, I still think letting your wife name your beer will pay great dividends in the future. She gets the naming rights and you get a few free passes when your brew pot boils over, or you forget to do something because you were brewing, or you have one too many, etc.

I'm going to have to go with Pat's Blue Ribbon....after you win a blue ribbon, of course.

You definitely have a point there. It's like a "Get Out of Jail" card. Well, sort of... If she's in that kind of mood, "Get Out of Jail" cards don't work, and you can only use it once. If she denies it, don't try bringing it up again, it'll only dig you in deeper.
