Brewery names--what's your story?

[McCuckerson]

So I'm thinking about Caspean Brewing Co.

It comes from the names of my three kids.
Cassidy, Haper & Adrian.

"Laurgan's" a contraction of Lauren and Morgan..... My two little beauties that always ask questions like: "Mommy is Daddy drinking beer again?"

 

[yummybeer]

think i might rename my brewery from happy horse brewery to oak park brewery. which sounds better?

Happy Horse sounds more unique to me. Oak Park sounds boring (to me).

Happy Horse Tranquilizer (a mead/barley wine perhaps)

Well I'm a Firefighter of 25 years and hope for another 10 to go. So for me it was BACK DRAFT BREWING. Now I just need to come up with a label . Was thinking of Betty Boop in bunker gear with the flame background like in the movie.

might be confused with hook and ladder's "back draft" beer.

 

[CuddlyBurrito]

Ok here is my collaboration "Hair of the Dog That Bit You Brewing Co."

I got a Miniature Pincher that thinks that hes a full size doberman. So sometimes he'll wana play rough and grab your hand and nip at it aggressively. It doesn't really hurt its just funny because he is more ferocious than my brothers pit bull.

So i was thinking of a picture of him in "attack mode" on my hand and doing some photoshop work on it and make it pastel-ish.

hsbcapt-
I'm a firefighter too, looks like we have the same brewery name! If either one of us takes it to the big show it looks like we'll have to come up with something else.
BTW, there's a group of firefighters on the board-just go to groups on the top of the screen, then search firefighters.

Stay safe out there!

Odeba Brewing

Its a mish mash of my wifes maiden name and my last name, the name was created when we got a dog before we were married and registered his name, since we werent married yet we gave him the last name of Odeba. Its kinda fun to say and it has stuck... and its definitely something no one else will have

 

[BoZzyFresh]

just curious. i know some out there like iron or and deep six have names/logos and all that....does anyone own the trademark on their name/logo? If so what did it cost? I'm interested cause my buddy and i hope to eventually go pro years from now but want to make sure that our name and what not would be protected once we have one.

35 years! you are crazy. i have 16 in and will be out in 9, only because my 1st 5 were for another dept and don't count.
Mongo, i'll look up the group, I didn't know about that.

ok back to the topic!

Byson Stone brewery. Byson Stone is a name some my friends gave to bar patron that they said was my "bizarro world" counterpart.

When I began brewing, the name came up and a logo w/ a Bison and Rock on the logo was the vision. I have an artist working on an official logo for T-shirts etc...

 

[MultumInParvo]

I have finally come up with a name for my brewery.

First I thought "Midnight Sun Brewing" because that just sounds cool. It was taken.
Then I thought, my girlfriend calls be bulldog sometimes, because of my relative demeanor. So, why not "Bulldog Brewing". That was taken as well.
A few other lesser names came and went, then while reading over this thread, it finally hit me.

Multum In Parvo Brewing.

Its perfect. Multiple things I like in life are much in little. I drive a MINI Cooper S, which packs a lot into a little car. I own a pug with my girlfriend, he is 17 pounds of pure energy and love. And, most importantly my girlfriend is everything, but in a small package (5'1").

And now, after a year, my brewery has a name!

You would need to register a fictitious business name with your county recorder's office in order to secure it from anybody else. The fee is typically around $20 for the business name, and your name becomes fictitious when you advertise in the newspaper for a 2 week period (typically around $40). You don't need to be "in-business" yet.

 

[Bullshivit-brew]

Back in high school (88-89) me and a buddy had to come up with a fictitious product and do a marketing campain for it. So Bullshivit Brewing Co. was born We were both (and still are) full of s**t so it seemed to fit. plus my fav. beer is RIS

For those in Florida, these two sites will be of use: https://efile.sunbiz.org/ficregintro.html & https://efile.sunbiz.org/ficinfo.html

The gist of it is that a $50 filing fee gets your name for 5 years, provided you've advertised in a local newspaper at least once.

Way back when, used to run a software company called Atomic Dog Software (can't remember how this name was picked - many years have passed). I then got a dog I named Nuclear. The software company is long since gone, but Nuclear's still with me (14 years in Feb), so I figured it made sense to go with Atomic Dog Brewery.

I actually work for 2 differant Depts. I'm a Shift Capt at both still have to fight fire . But I still get a rush when its burning . lol

 

[hsbcapt]

As far as brewing I'll never leave my garage. I did build a brew stand will show pics as soon as I have enough post. Single tier , 2 pumps , 3 banjo burners and a water filter system and 3 very shiny keggles .

I'm a public defender. I think I'll begin brewing under "Defender Brewing."

Threw this rough sketch of a brewery logo together just now:

 

[Shooter]

I need to come up with a label, but I came up with a name just a few hours ago, Almaigan Brewing Company. Okay, the company part just makes it sound legit. It's made up from the first two initials of my family members' middle names. I didn't expect it to actually look like a real word.

A couple of years ago I did some Logo design for a friend of a friend for a clothing company called Atomic Dogg. Never found out if he used any of my designs or if the company did anything though.

I don't know why I never noticed before the name of your brewery.

ha, same herei have the name but no artistic ability whatsoever, so the label is nonexistent...

(Sorry I'm late to the thread.)

I always wanted to sneak into the courthouse parking lot one night and put up a sign that says, "Parking for Defense Attorneys Only -- Prosecutors Will Be Violated."

I'm not a brewer but I'm getting into wine & mead making. I started with a wine kit to share with my fiancee, and wanted a label with some personal significance. The winery name is French for "the love of a friend" (at least I hope that's what it says!) which a phrase that came up early in our relationship, and the photo is from the first time we met in person at the Niagara River.

The nice thing about being engaged to a lady in Toronto is that when I go to visit her I get to drive through the Niagara wine country. Tasty!

[sharpstick]

sharpstick winery/brewery name dates back a few years:
http://keiserb.tripod.com/why.html
i have a sub-name, "crooked label". i despaired of sticking on labels straight after a while and designed some that were not rectangles, but trapezoids with the text at odd angles and i just slap them on any way they fit.

 

[Cart]

Nomad Brewing. Comes from the fact that the "operation" never seems to stay in the same city long enough for a geographical name. I move every couple years, so Nomad's in its third city already.

Sure hope nobody's taken this name yet... it sounds simple enough as to be unoriginal...

 

[bripetro01]

That's a great name. I'm 6'7" and live in Flat Rock, Mi. Good story!

 

[bripetro01]

Black Swamp Brewery . The area between Detroit and Monroe Mi used to be called the Blackswamp , before it was drained .
Mad Anthony IPA
Grosse Isle Pale Ale
Dwarf Stomper Ale ( for my son he just turned 17 on Tues. he's 6'9" )

This is a great name. I'm 6'7" and from Flat Rock, Mi. Still no name for mine yet though.

 

[oceanselv]

I used my last name and the German word for brewery, Steiger Brauerei. I did this because my son who helps brew when he is home from college is studying German, as did I, and he will be attending school in Germany next year.

 

[WolfyJ]

Howdy yall, while im still relativley new speaking on the forums (been a stalker though for quit some time lol got a jaom in its 4th month along with well... a lot of beer to hold us over in the meanwhile lol) Figure im shootin for Howling Wolf Brewery or Atris Brewery. I work in the EMS field and in new jersey theres something called an ATRA law aka Alcohol Treatment and Rehabilitation Act meaning if there in jail we gota be the taxi cab and take em to a hospital... yay me xX anywho being drunk one night (go figure lol) we thought i'd be interesting to mock it.
