Looking for a name for a new brew club

[mongoose33]

Trying to start up a local homebrew club. Looking for a clever and descriptive name.

Here are the words it might include: Platteville, Pioneers, Hops, Brewing, Agglomeration, Brewers, Malt, etc. etc. etc.

The first two words--Platteville and Pioneers--are important. One or both should probably be in the name.

Ideas? TIA!

my initial reaction is to go w/ something with Brewers because of the location but i think it would end up too generic sounding. Maybe like the Platteville Platos Club or something w/ the alliteration.

Then you could do something cool w/ the logo to tie it in maybe? Quick idea

If the name has to include Platteville and Pioneers, adding more than one additional word makes a real mouthful. Why not something simple like Platteville Pioneer Brewing?

Or Platoville, but that might be too obscure.

I like the Plato idea....somewhat obscure, but it may make people ask.....

Wow--how on earth did you pick up on Platte Mound? That is very cool!

For those who don't know (which is about everybody in the universe), we have a large geographical feature about 4 miles east of town--Platte Mound-- on which is situated the world's largest "M". It was constructed by engineering students at UW-Platteville in 1937, after students had explored the mound one winter day and upon returning to town, discovered they could see the paths they'd made in the snow.

We used to be a mining school back then, which is why the "M". Also stands for Mongoose.

Malt pioneers Platteville
Platteville drinkers and thinkers
Platteville pioneer mashers
Platteville brew club
Beer pioneers pbc (Plattevillebrewclub)
Platteville badger brewers
Platteville pioneer brewers
Platteville zymurgists
Pioneer zymurgy
Pioneer zymurgy society
Home brew pioneers
Thirsty pioneers platteville
Brothers in arms (sorry, had to)

I thought also about using Zymurgy in there, but that's so obscure that I don't think it will work. My license plate is that without the "U".

Platteville Pioneers Homebrewers Guild.... because "guild" is fancy

 

[SGTSparty]

i dig the Platt-oh type name, or if you spell it right you could have a guy looking through a telescope as your logo, but instead of a telescope its a refractometer, and instead of looking at the moon its a bi hop cone surrounded by grain stars or something.

HOPPS = Home Of Platteville PioneerS

edit to add: Homebrewers Of Platteville PioneerS is another option.
