Did you all have a name for your "brewery" after one batch?

[poolteacher]

My wife named mine for me. I teach billiards and am a bar manager inside a pool hall. The name was easy for her when she asked me why I called a coin-operated pool table a "bar box." The name and lable were created in a couple of hours. Hasn't changed at all. She even works in graphic design and made the lable up in a couple of minutes (about the time it took me to drink one.)
Barbox Brew.

Pardon me if this seems obvious, but are you all naming businesses and applying for your liquor license to sell your beer, or are you just giving a name to the shed out back where you brew and keep your brew equipment? Are you all actually registering these names with the state as a Doing Business As (DBA) name? Is anyone doing trademark searches first or doesn't it matter (in the case of simply giving a shed a nickname)?

That's a secret.








Most of us are answering the first question you'll get after giving one away.

That's a good beer... what's it called?

 

[Proofman]

Dogtown Brewery came to me very early on. A buddy of mine used to try and get me to open up a Pub with him. I thought that that or Working Dog would be good. Dogs are a HUGE part of my life (Austrailian Cattle Dogs and Border Collies). We also used to live in North Little Rock (across the Arkansas River). Back in the 40’s and 50’s it was called dogtown because people in Little Rock would take their unwanted dogs there to abandon them. It still has a derogatory association to many. But some of us adopted the name to give it a sub-culture/underdog aspect to it.

On a side note a new grill was going to open up in Dogtown and they were going to call it the Dogtown Grill. They changed the name at the last minute. Whimps!

 

[Turkeyfoot Jr.]

My brewery's called Turkeyfoot Brewery.

The name's significant to me for two reasons. One, Turkeyfoot Creek runs through my family's property in rural NW Ohio. I grew up there and my mom still lives out there in our family home which is an 80 year old farmhouse. One day I may even own the place, who knows. Two, my late father's handle on the CB was Turkeyfoot. Whenever we traveled he always had the CB hooked up so that he could chat with the truckers and find out about traffic and weather conditions. The name's sort of a tribute to him although he didn't have anything to do with brewing. For cryin out loud, he drank OLD MILWAUKEE, LOL. But, I think if he were still around he'd like what I brew. Old Mil was just all he could afford what with raising 6 kids. And while he didn't inspire me to brew I like to think he inspired me to be the man and therefore brewer that I am today.

 

[FireBrewer]

Not sure if I instantly knew but mine's Old Station Brewing Co. I'm a firefighter/paramedic by trade.

 

[HighPlainsDrifter]

Name change: B.O.M.B.

[D2T]

I started kegging pretty early so I never really thought about a brewery name/label design. It might be nice to come up with something and put it on my kegerator though.

 

[Orfy]

Hair of the dog brewery.

I keg but still label the kegs.

 

[D2T]

I keg but still label the kegs.

Yeah, I think I'll work on a name/label design. This way if I ever manage to stop drinking my beer long enough to build up more than one or two in the kegerator I won't get confused

 

[EdWort]

Kudos go out to billpa for my brewery.

He does mighty fine work and is SWMBO approved!

 

[tomek322]

Subteranean? kerouac fan?

 

[brewt00l]

Several years past my first batch and I still don't bother with a name. Heck, I don't name my beers or label my bottles...a couple letters and a number written with a sharpie on the cap is about as far into it as I go.

 

[olllllo]

Choose a language (spanish for example) and name you brewery the no-name brewery...

ex.
Cerveceria sin Nombre

 

[chainsawbrewing]

i had my brewery name, logo done, and first labels printed when i was still buying brewing equipment, before my first batch. i'm a horror/macabre afficionado. chainsaw brewing just "fit's" me. and the planning, naming, designing process is always the most fun for me in all of my hobbies.

 

[jezter6]

I didn't start thinking of a name till I checked into this part of the forum, thinking that the members had a lot of really cool logos and labels. I have JUST enough equip, storage and capabilites for a couple of 5 gallon batches at a time, hence:

Watch going public with that one, because we have 2 of them here in Maryland.

 

[Bernie Brewer]

I am a huge Doors fan, so it was an easy pick. Lizard King Brewing.

You like the Doors? Gee, I would've never guessed, given your handle.


Me, I'm a huge Parrothead. My brewery name is Changes in Latitudes Brewing Co.
One of these days I'm going to actually come up with a logo. If any of you artsy-fartsy computer whizzes are interested in helping in that endeavor, there'd be some reward homebrew in it for ya...........

 

[howlinowl]

Watch going public with that one, because we have 2 of them here in Maryland.

And a sister company in Stuart, FL, south of where I live. However, the sign still says "Grille and Brewery" but they've since stopped selling the brew.....don't believe they ever brewed there, but brought it down from Maryland.

[chthonik]

Taking each of our first name initials, lumping them together and throwing an "ik" on the end, we come up with "MAJik Brewing"

[sphericalcamel]

I started out with just using my last name, but after a few batchs switched to Double Mutt Brewing (after my two helpers who just want to eat the bubbling airlock). The nice thing about not being a company is I can rebrand everything in about 5 minutes.

 

[talleymonster]

Mine is related to my ancestry......

Asgard Brewery

"Ales to the Gods"

Still searching for that one great mead.

The Asgard are also an alien species in the TV Show Stargate:SG1. They are super intelligent, super powerful, almost god like beings. just my .2$

 

[talleymonster]

Well, I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. So I have been thinking about calling it:

Sin City Suds

just a thought right now, nothing is set in stone.
​

 

[Matt Foley]

Not bad, but as your probably know there is already a Sin City Brewing Co. www.sincitybeer.com

 

[talleymonster]

No Matt Foley, I didnt know that there was already a Sin City Brewing Co. Damn.

Well Thanks for the heads up!

 

[MNBugeater]

I've used the moniker Bugeater for years...decades actually.

'Bugeaters' is the name of the original Cornhuskers football team.
The University of Nebraska Mighty Bugeaters - 1890-1900.


I name my beers on an 'old school' football theme. I have recently commissioned an artist to do my logo, hope to have it soon.

Bugeater Brewery

Leatherhead Lager
All American Pale Ale
Prairie Pounder (American Wheat)
Mud Puddle Porter
Halftime Hefe
Smashmouth Stout

 

[Wrathbone]

I imagine I would simply name mine "The Wrathskellar"

But that will come with some time. Once I get some more brews under my belt.

 

[stever]

I wasn't sure it was right to have a brewery name yet, seems to soon but I really like

"Crowbar Brewing"

with labels that consist of a fist holding a crowbar ala half life.

 

[Nurmey]

Did you all have a name for your "brewery" after one batch?

Well yes actually. Batch 1 Brewing was named for our first batch. lol

 

[GloHoppa]

Including the 2 batches of Apfelwein I have done, I have only brewed 4.5 (mr. beer only counts as a half) batches of beer so I am still very much a n00b. However, my Bass Ale clone took a solid 8 weeks from brewdate to drink (due to a stay in secondary as instructed) so in that time I came up with my label(s) for Townie Brewing Company since I live in a tourist-rich area and am very proud of being more than just a tourist. Hence....Townie Brewing Co.
