Brewery names--what's your story?

[BigAndo]

AsgardNorth Brewery. When I moved to Vermont my Father-in-law (who died a few years before I met his daughter) called his home AsgardNorth. Found out him and I had a lot in common, only he had better choice of women, but that's another story.

Each beer that doesn't suck that I have made gets the JTL's Finest stamp on it. For my 3 three sons, two of which (twins) died shortly after birth almost 7 years ago.

and Xenomaniac, I understand the last name thing... I cannot really call my brewery... Stoner Brewing

You could!!

BigAndo, the more I have been thinking about it, the more I believe I will make it that. Gone through a fair number of searches with no results.

Stoner brewery? Most people dont know that hops and cannibus are the only 2 species in the same family (the acutal latin name escapes me, but thats not important) and people have actually experimented with interchanging the 2 in brewing. If (or more or less when) mary jane become legal for recreational usage. You could have a great name for a craft brewery, or if you trademark it, you could sell it. You could be the myspace of the brewing world! It sold for an un godly amount.

My home brew is labeled simply "Libby Hill Brewery".

Why? I live in an area of the county that was formally recognized as the Libby community and my property is on top of a big hill. Not very sophisticated but it rolls off the tongue quite well.

A brew friend of mine and I are are going to collaborate on a brew this summer and label it "Trailer Trash Beer Burners" something or nother. We haven't settled in a style yet but we figure with a name like that it better be something that ends up tasty!

I've been calling mine Spare Bedroom Breweries, or SBB for short. My brewery also has a wine division that I've been calling Near the Window Wines. I don't think I have to explain either of these names. My cousin is a cartoonest and I've got him working on some logos for both.

[tmmoore52]

I was going for "Big Test Icicles" English Pale Ale, but since it turned out so weak and light, I'm going with "Big Sissy".

My chosen name is "Moody Brews" - anyone who listened to the music of the 60s and 70s will know from which that is derived!

Colorado guys take note! I wonder if you guys could get away with establishing an empire of this while you're still one of the only states with legalization. With that kind of foothold, you could sweep the nation by storm as states legalized it.

Molassis Hollow Brewery,
Why; I walk out onto my front porch some time ago and there sat a little old lady, I dont remember her name, we got talking and she was telling me some great stories about my house and the area we lived in, one of the stories was how back in the 30's when she was a young girl her friends and family nicknamed the area Molassis Hollow, due to the fact that we do live in a slight hollow on a hill and once you move into the neighbourhood you never want to leave, "Stuck like Molassis".
However I seldomly use the name to promote my beers.

No back story, just what I came up with and liked. My brews are given appropriately anachronistic names: Intolerance IPA, Commie Bastard Red Ale, Second Hand Smoked Dunkelweizen, etc.

 

[Medic218]

Started out as Slingshot Brewing simply because it didn't exist in the commerical or home brew world.
I came up with the name as a possibility, my buddy took a liking to it, so I went with that.
I wasn't really sold on the name because I felt that with a name that specific I would need/want to stick to naming my beers after slingshot terminology.
Anyways, after I had named it and had someone make a design for me I keep trying to think of something that I liked, not anyone else.
One day I was filling out a chart after a call and went to document the patient's history of illicit drug abuse.
**Lightbulb**
That's when Illicit Aleworks was born.

Last name is Hackney. Everyone called me Hack through college. My first brew was in celebration of the birth of my son 16 years ago. His name is Max. Hence Hack's Max

I call mine, "Mastiff Slobber Brew House". Actually going to sand blast etch a sign for it this weekend.
Obviously got the idea from the other slobber beers. But when ever I brew, my English Mastiff Diesel is always close by, and while I was boiling one day, Diesel shook his head and a big chunk of slobber landed in my brew pot. So the name stuck!

Of course I did, a little Mastiff Slobber never hurt anyone.:rockin:
But it was in full boil, so I figured it wasn't a big deal.

[TheBreu]

I am new to the brewing world (brewing my first batch in the next day or two) but with my last name and it's meaning I had to go with "The Breury". The first part of my last name is Breu, it's German, and the meaning of my last name is the "the tapper of the keg". How could I not call it the Breury, right? lol

I work at a sign shop and I will be making labels and signs for the basement bar. My wife has been looking at label ideas on here as I surf the forum.

[Yretsof]

So are you volunteering to do labels and signs for everyone at deep discounts?

 

[troy2000]

Lessee... The story behind my brewery name? Um, well, I bought a new hat....

My previous name was Two Beagles Brewery. Would you believe it's because I had two Beagles?

 

[TheBreu]

I like it, but it's misspelled. Breu

Was playing around tonight.I was going with Farm 3 Beer Club but since I am going to move my brewery to the old pump house I decided on a new name.
