Brewery names--what's your story?

[bentoni]

I grew up in baptist church. I remember people saying the bad Christians were called "back row baptists" because they'd sneak into the back row after a long night of partying on Saturday...thus the name Back Row Baptist Brewing. All my beer names have some connotation to church culture.

A&G's best a buddy of mine Aaron showed me in the early 90's that you could make beer at home. and since my names Gary that's where A&G came from and we were drinking the beast at the time that's where the best came from

 

[isuflyguy]

Not sure what mines gonna be yet, thinking of sticking to simple with "McGarvey Brewing Co" ... My Irish name goes hand in hand with beers and pubs.

There's been this running joke between me and my physical chemist friends about how funny it would be to have a bar called H-bar. H-bar is an important mathematical constant in physical chemistry. Unfortunately, very few people will get the joke.

Careful, you might get sued by the "H over 2 Pi" guys across the street.

When I first started brewing I had a few rolls of blue painters tape leftover from work. Figured what better way to label the beer. I still label my beers with blue tape and sharpie, thus started Blue Tape Brewery.

Ok, I know this is old but it is too funny. I normally keg but bottled up some beers for a party and used blue painters tape to label them and since then my wife keeps telling me I need to work on my labelling. I am going to order some grogtags but wanted to come up with a name and logo first.

Lazy Hammock Brewing Co.

No real story behind it. I have a hard time coming up with names for things. For example... when naming my dog after I adopted him, (I lived in a fraternity house), I looked at the shelf of liquor bottles going around my room. My dog's name is Jager...

Aaaaaaanyways. I love camping and I love laying in hammocks (I used to have one from one side of my bedroom to the other). There's nothin better than a lazy day swinging in a hammock with a cool breeze blowin. Other than having an ice cold homebrew at the same time... bring the two together... Lazy Hammock Brewing Co.

)($;&&//):$;&():. I have been reading this thread for a few days and had this exact name in my mind. I hit post 1912 and see someone beat me to it. Oh well, time for a few more homebrews while trying to come up with something else original.

Save yourself time and google the name. Then hit up untapped and see if it shows there. I only say that because I feel I'm not super clever and the few names I've finally managed to come up with are taken. That solidifies the idea that I'm not super clever but also saves me time getting excited about a name that I cannot use.

Anyone have any opinions on using a name that is clearly just the name some dude gave his garage in a professional manner? For example, someone may be using Rusty Gears Brewing (not to single out the guy but I like the name). If I want to register it, because he has not, and use it, what would be the opinion? Other than making me a ****** of course. Don't worry, I'm not doing this but I did think of a name and it appears that the guy posted here once in 2010, his "brewery" name shows up on BA with no posts, and there is nothing else associated with the name. It got me thinking.

I did actually google and did not find anything, but I only googled "Lazy Hammock Brewing". I just googled "Lazy Hammock Brewing Homebrewtalk" and found it. Either way I still wanted to finsih the thread as it there are some interesting names/stories and before making a final decission I want to see what else the thread inspired in my imagination.

As for registering the name, it would be a bit douchey, but you never know. The other person could be getting ready to register it, or maybe has stopped using the name or even quit brewing since their post. Who knows? A PM to the other person would likley resolve things most times I would guess.

For me, Royal Oaks Brewing Company. The name is from the subdivision I live in.

 

[paulegli]

We are "Two Bad Buns Brewery", after our family's pet therapy rabbits, Sam and Joe. Sadly, they have both moved on to the big carrot patch in the sky, but we still hoist a pint to them from time to time.

I'm entered in the homebrewing competition at the Hop-n-Barley Festival this weekend and had a banner made so we can stand out a bit:

 

[markstache]

The Obscure Presidents' Ale Society

I'm pretty sure I'm not competing with anyone on that title. It's actually named after my dogs, who are named after obscure presidents: Stephen Grover Cleveland and James Knox Polk -- use the middle names of both. RIP Chester Alan Arthur.

All my beers (at least when I'm not being lazy) have presidential themed names. My favorite so far is "Grover Cleveland's Non-consecutive Double IPA".

 

[blueseamonkey]

Mine is Black Hart Brewery, to try and incorporate some part of my name (my surname is Hartland) but still keep it interesting. Here's the logo.

As far as I can tell, no-one else is using it as a Brewery name. A few beers are called Black Hart, there are a couple of breweries called Black Heart around the world. At the very least, I'm the only one in the Philippines using the name!

For those posting "no one else is using that name", why is that a concern? I can understand if you are trying to open your own business, but is everyone trying to do that who posts that remark?

I did google mine, and there is a "The Royal Oak Brewery" in Michigan, but I'm not planning on making a career out of brewing, so no worries for me I guess.

 

[HankyPanky]

My brewery name is HANKY PANKY BREWING CO. My last name is Hankerson. Everyone usually calls me Hank or Hanky Panky. So I ran with it!

Not sure about everyone else, but I am trying to start a nanobrewery business

If I was only homebrewing I wouldn't care at all if someone else had got there first with the name.

This is my brewery name/label lol

[Pickle29]

Masked Bandit Brewing Company. I grew up idolizing my grandpa, who died when I was 10. He was an avid raccoon hunter, and most of his life centered around it. My whole life raccoons have been my favorite animal.

 

[yyvjpv]

My brothers and I have gone in together on a nanobrewery. Not exactly an exciting name but we went with Seven Brethren. Basically highlighting the importance to us of family, community, and to the brethren (i.e. monks) that played such a huge role in perfecting this craft for centuries.

 

[gravityspiral]

My name begins with A, and my brewing partner's name starts with T, so we went with TNA Brewing Co. We might change it down the road but it works for now

 

[Clankenbrew]

Lazy Bastard Brewing Co.

Seems that while I'm brewing I sit around smoking cigars and drinking home brew a lot waiting for the next step.

I would like to name mine after our dogs. I have some ideas; Basset Hound Brewing, Lazy Hound Brewing, or Two Bassets Brewing. Anyone have a favourite? I'm stumped.

Im not trying to poop on your parade, but it seems like nearly half of the brewers who have dogs name their brewery or beers after the dog (s). It is kind of a tired theme. As a dog person myself I LOVE my critter but wouldnt name beers or a brewery after her. If you are stuck on keeping the dogs in it, maybe Bassett House Brewing? Sounds to me like it could be either dogs or surname.

Just my $0.02.

Mad Cow Brewing (a play on my surname) Cattle... Best I could come up with lol
