Brewery names--what's your story?

[danielofthedale]

Made my way through all 198 pages and some really great stuff is out there! After thinking about this I think I have found a name that I will go with.

Dial Square Ale House--I am a very big fan of Arsenal FC and way back in the day their original name was Dial Square. For a logo I am thinking of a square clock face set to 8:14 since my two favorite players are Freddie Ljungberg who was #8 and Theirry Henry who was #14. The beer names would have an Arsenal/soccer theme.

I named my brewery "7 Cubed Brewing", after the nickname my wife and I gave to our wedding day (July 7, 2007). It helped that I already had the domain name (7cubed.ca) registered

I used "The Village" font in homage to one of my favourite TV shows: The Prisoner: [ame]http://youtu.be/Sv813f2Xtrg[/ame]

 

[Yretsof]

I named mine "Donspilma brewery" pronounced "Dont spill ma" as in what you say when someone gets near your beer. I have some Donspilma porter in the fridge and a Donspilma Irish Red going into secondary tomorrow. Our motto you ask? "Give em tha D!"
Heres a rough draft of the logo, I have a buddy working on a neon sign for me.

For forty plus years, my grandfather was the only roulette wheel manufacturer in the United States. Paul Tramble Roulette Service. In honor of him, Roulette Brewing.

Houston Brewing

I love my city and try to make my beer with a Texas/Houston twist

No logo yet been working my on labels

 

[Gerhard]

Gerhard Deuss is my great-great grandfather who immigrated from Holland in 1863. He had a brewery in Minnesota in 1864..

 

[BuffaloBrad]

Marked Crazy Neighbor Brewery many years ago and you can use your imagination for why I picked the name. Needless to say, my neighbors know me and enjoy my driveway brewpub!

 

[Dylan42]

Some think my brewhouse name is lame, however, I like it so eff em. I am a ship fitter (steel worker) by trade and I work in the naval shipyard. We are sometimes referred to as yardbirds. Hence:

Yardbird Brewhouse

I am thinking of doing something like this for my signature logo but I want a little bit of a different twist.

A label I made for the upcoming football season.

 

[knelson13A]

So, my first several idea were apparently very unoriginal, as a quick Google search shows me that they're already taken.

Here's what I'm thinking now:

Thirteen Alpha Brewing Company

13A is my MOS code (field artillery officer). I'm trying to make it Army/Artillery related if I can. I wanted to do Redleg Brewing, but there's one of those in Colorado Springs, apparently.

 

[jimyson]

My HB name is based on an old B&M Railroad bridge in South Lowell, MA. Down the street from where I grew up. The logo is designed after an old Boston and Maine Railroad logo and incorporated the bridge in replacement of a minuteman.

 

[45thparallelhopper]

I hate my current job, so I've always leaned towards Disgruntled Workers Brewery

 

[chefzman]

Mine is z-man brewing co. Based on my 12 years younger little sisters inability to say my childhood nickname correctly. I am currently producing a "crossing crafts" line of brews paying homage to the many crafts I enjoy taking part in... I am a culinarian (not just a foodie, a properly trained, schooled, and got my ass beat up for 20 years in the business professional chef), a musician (rock star actually...at least in my own brain), somewhat of an artist (though most of that talent is in my mothers hands - she helps with label designs), and now a newb brewer. I've been at it for 3 months...brewed and bottles a blonde ale, an ipa and a stout. I really enjoy my newly found craft...

 

[ShepFL]

Was named just for sh*ts and grins "Crooked Rooster Brews" as in I like chicken wings and brews, plus it sounds better than drunken chicken Now it seems to be taking off. Got 3 sources of investment funding considering our proposal for a concept brewpub with an area for John Q. Public to do mini mash brews located west of Jacksonville, FL (Looking like $500K to make it turnkey). Wife is helping me with some of the artsy fartsy stuff.

 

[Tritonal]

I've been bouncing around 3 ideas for a name all related to my current career field in the Airforce.

Weapons grade brewery
462 brewery in honor of the old designator to my career field or
2w1 brewery which is my current afsc

 

[Fat_Maul]

I recently started shaving my head bald and proclaimed to my workmates that this summer I would have a golden dome. One of them suggested I name my homebrew that. I am also fat so all of my brews will have a fat theme in their name. Here is my first label. In the fermenter, I have "Portlygeist" - a robust porter infused with the spirit of vanilla. Last night I brewed "Chunky Dunky" - a dunkelweizen, I think next time I make the dunkel, I will switch out or add chocolat malt to make it live up to the name.

 

[Renegades_Brew]

Renegades Brew is named after one of our dogs. (The black tri-color Corgi)

He got that honor because the Red one got the sausages named after him: Romeo's Sausages

Of course pictures of both!

 

[jnr1005]

We named ours Liberty House Brewery. Our German Shepherd, Liberty rules the house...so she got naming rights, and rights to all the spent grain and spent grain doggie biscuits she can enjoy. Brewed our first batch last night, and man did she scarf up the grain mixed in with her food.

 

[BostonHomeBruin]

I've been throwing around a few ideas. My girlfriend and I just moved to a town west of Boston, and up until the late 60's there used to be a subway line here called the A-Line. I was thinking of naming it A-Line Aleworks or A-Line Brewing in honor of that. Another idea I had was naming it after the Alewife, a fish from the area that was named because people thought it resembled a heavyset tavern keeper's wife. So I was thinking either Alewife Aleworks or Alewife Brewing. Thoughts?

Mine is geek chaser.

A-Line Aleworks has a nice ring. Alewife sounds... weird. Like you are making fun of your wife.

An alewife is a boney relative of the herring or gaspereau as the Acadians (NS Cajuns) knew them. Go with the former lol.

 

[dibrewzza]

My last name sounds like Dibrewzza so it worked out perfectly!

Haha, thanks!

Chapter 5 Brewing.

My number for sports has always been 5 since before I can remember. While studying up before starting to brew I read Homebrewing for Dummies and How to Brew. Chapter 5 of Homebrewing for Dummies was titled "Hop Heaven" and chapter 5 of How to Brew was also about Hops. Being a huge hop-head and with my history with the number 5, Chapter 5 seemed a perfect name.

 

[girdwood]

Aileen Brewing Company; my wife and daughter's middle name. I'll be keeping the logo and labels as well as the names some-what pin-up/retro themed and I feel that it's a period correct name.

 

[rhurls]

Had a work related accident 12 years ago and had my left pinkie amputated. Hence the name.

 

[laughingboysbrew]

I have two boys. joy of my life is making them laugh. rest is history. the logo (in progress) is something crossed between dick/jane and radio flyer wagon. this is the best image I could find on the interweb.... all of the beers named after childhood themes: jumping in mud puddles, capture the flag, skipping school, etc. etc.

 

[SRBrewWorks]

S & R Brew Works. We went a bit serious like Deep Six in the event we take it to the next level. It's simple but it works. It is nothing more than the first initial of the last name of me and my friend who brew and bottle together.

 

[IrishBrewer74]

I was first going the Fat Irishman Brewing.... But then got a bit more real and kept it simple. T&T Brewing. For the first initials of my daughters first names.
