Brewery names--what's your story?

[Sammy86]

Ivy League Brewing Company

All the streets in my neighborhood are named after Ivy League colleges so to name the brewery after the streets where it all began was pretty simple

Cheers!

Been brewing for over a year now,
Always wanted a name but could never think of something fitting until I realized that my initials spelled JAW, I like to fish and I'm from San Diego so it kinda works, I also love pizza port, so I'm trying to work a name around Jaws without using brew co or brewing I'm lost once again. Any help ? Anyone?!

BadWater Brewing Co.

Went to ECU home of the Pirates! So I liked the idea of including pirate innuendos. I also liked the ol poison symbols so thought that would tie it all together with the water drop to make BadWater Brewing.

The stratford brewery, its just the name of my town. Kinda needs some inprovement.

I always liked the idea of "brewing team" or "brew team"

JAW's Fermentorium.

Decided on Jaws Brewing!
Kinda like the ring it has!!

Mine translates to 'low class brewing company'

Well, depending on which English to German translator you use, anyways.

I call my little home-brewing set up "Tri-County Run Brewing". Between me & my brew-bro, we have to go through three different counties to get to one another, and there is a nice circular route I can take where one way is about as long as the other. So, we make a tri-county run every time one of goes to see the other.

I filed a trademark application for mine as:

"Back of the Yards Brewing Company"

It's named after a hardscrabble neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, which I've always liked.

Someday I'd like to open brewpub there for White Sox fans to drink mightily and eat heartily.

I still haven't completely settled on a name, but I have been looking for inspiration everywhere. So far Callous Monkey seems to be holding...originally it was Ghost Monkey but then I found out there is aghost Monkey Brewery in North Carolina, or maybe it was South.....anyway, the labels I had made, the monkey looked kind of unimpressed...so the word Callous came to mind and I think it has a good ring to it.

Yards Brewing in Philly might try and block your application

I mean if Red Bull has a problem with Old Ox, then Yards might have a problem with your name

Harechaser Brewing--logo is a black greyhound, mid-stride (all four legs overlapping in the middle)--in honor of my ridiculous, enthusiastically-running dog

 

[lmo506]

This is the name of a tavern in a village close to me. The pour house.
Quite fitting if you seen the village

This is an article from the Stockton Daily Independent newspaper from 1866 referencing my great-grandfathers brewery:
“Joseph Piequet sent to this office last evening a fine sample of lager beer, manufactured by his father Walter, proprietor of the Hornitas Brewery, Mariposa county. The brewery of Mr. Piequet bears an enviable name among the lovers of “good lager” in its locality and has not suffered in the least degree in the estimation of the printers in this office. A sample of Mr. Piequet’s beer will be exhibited at the forthcoming Fair.”
and thus, the resurrection of Hornitas Brewing Company was born.

I am fermenting my first beer now...but already have a name thanks to being a smarta** to the kids. Everyone agrees it needs to be this.....
Name: Have A Good Day Brewing
Label forthcoming.
Basically when my kids gripe and complain I tell them to "have a good day" sarcastically usually. Anytime they gripe they get that response.
It will work well if I ever want to open a brewery I think. "Come on in and Have A Good Day".
Might be corny...but who knows....lol.

Im thinking of calling mine Walmer Brewing, or some variation of the theme.

Walmer was the name given to my grandparents farm which they bought when he returned from WWII.

My grandmother named it Walmer as her grandfather migrated from Kent U.K. to New Zealand and Walmer is the name of the local castle.

I call mine Burly Brewing because I like to brew/drink big beers and I am a somewhat burly person myself, seems fitting. Brew big or go home! I'm trying to get my graphic designer buddy to design a logo for me of an imperial pint glass with two flexed arms coming out of the sides.

Surname is Brewer. Name my Brewery, please .

 

[slym2none]

How about "Name My Brewery"?

 

[mxrob]

Surname is Brewer. Name my Brewery, please .

Brewery Resolute?

 

[Nomofett]

Personally I think you gotta find a theme to go with it. For example, I might go with something called Birthright Brewing and then name your beers after people that fought for rights (I'm a political guy) or 3B brewing (Brewing By Birthright) and name your beers after old 3d movies if your a film guy. Or find out why your last name is brewer, many people changed their last names when emigrating at Ellis Island so you could be Elis Island Ales. I think you should go deeper than just your last name, why do you brew? What's special to you about brewing? But then again I may just be full of it since I've had a few already

Campo Brewing Company.
Campo in Spanish translates to field or rural area. Mostly farms and fishing villages with a few hotels and surf camps scattered along the coast. We say were out in the Campo. I guess similar to were out in the sticks or boonies
We sell 2 styles to a few of the restaurants in the area.
Here are our logos.

I was out with the guys a few months ago and the perfect brewery named popped randomly into my head. It was the most well thought out and perfectly descriptive bad a$$ name I ever thought of...I was so pleased with myself. Then I woke up the next morning and remembered I had the perfect brewery name, but couldn't remember it. To this day I still can't remember it. When I do It will probably be something silly and I'll kick myself.

BS Brewing???? You did say you were into politics!

Dark hollow brewer
Being a deadhead & all

I think I am changing mine up after this latest brew.

The new name will be "Thin Line Brewing" - denotes the thin line between indulgence and over-indulgence. I think I am going to start using song names for my beer names. Maybe do "band series".

I dunno.
