What is your home brewery's name?

[Cameronl]

I've been struggling to come up with a name for my basement brewery. Have you named yours? What is it? What was the inspiration? Help me get my creative juices flowing.
Hmm... "Creative Juices Brewing"... ewww, no. Back to the drawing board.

 

[kevin58]

Nothing especially creative. It's named for the rural road I live on.

PS the logo is a work in progress.

 

[Sammy86]

Big Three Brewing Company after my three kids.

 

[D.B.Moody]

D. MOODY BREWS
How could i not do that?

I dig the logo. Evocative. I'm picturing an inviting, homey farmhouse taproom.

 

[Broken Crow]

Don't force it.. It'll just come to you in a moment when you're doing or thinking something brewing-related, probably as an off-hand comment either in your own head or something someone says.
My nickname for about 20 years at work was 'Crow', mostly because limited smoking-area seating in the factory would see me perched on a railing (which was actually far more ergonomic and comfortble than the fast-food style seating) and I always wore black and my 18" of hair was usually black... After my injury, when a co-worker I hadn't seen since before it asked me what the hell happened to me, after telling him about it he said; "So you're a Broken Crow!"..and it stuck: BCB... 'Broken Crow Brews'...'Brews' and not 'brewery' because it refers to the equipment I 'brew up' as well as what I do with it.
Give it time and space, and something that feels or resonates personally to you will present itself.

I don't have a name for my brewery, but I do have several slogans. Among them:

"It's OK if you don't like it. That's just more for us."

"Yes it's free, but there's a $50 deposit on the bottles."

 

[hotbeer]

Sometimes like nick names for yourself, you just need to let what your friends refer to it as be the name.

Perhaps you don't even need a name.

 

[Cameronl]

Perhaps you don't even need a name.

I like to pretend I'm pro. I even have a digital menu for my 3-tap keezer. It just say, "*lastname* Brewing".
Coming up with beer names for the board is hard enough.

 

[zasada]

My surname is Zasada. It translates as the principle as well as hydroxide. Zasadniczo means basically.

While I was starting I was so uncertain of so many things, fhat I thought it was basically a home brewery but...

Logo was made after 8 years of having fun.

Hop Mechanic Brewing

I've been a mechanic my whole life and own a repair shop... so naturally....

 

[jsphlynch]

The name I got courtesy of my wife is Mad Fusion Brewing. I'm a scientist in my day job, and she said it sounded sciencey.

 

[bailey mountain brewer]

Bailey mountain brewing

I live on 12 acres on a mountain where my sister lives on the neighboring 12 acres and my dad is on the other side of me. We are close friends with our neighbors another driveway down, their daughter calls me uncle dave, so we consider our little area "the mountain" .. the road we live on is lower bailey, named after a stream that runs through the mountain call "bailey run" so I took bailey run and the mountain and called it bailey mountain. Here's the logo my wife created, fun fact about me, this logo is also tattooed on my a$$ as practice for my wife when I got her a tattoo machine.

Very nice, name related to your work.

I'm a fundraiser. I beg for money.
Begger's Brewing? Nice alliteration. But fundraising is just a job for me, not a passion or calling.

My professional background is in radio management and production (I fundraise for public radio), so maybe something radio related... I like the old-timey art deco look of radio graphics from the thirties. I'm going to have to mull on that.

Imagine a taproom built in an old transmitter site...

Underhill Brewery

Underhill was the name of a section of Hobbiton that was under Hobbiton Hill, from jrr tolkien book "the hobbit. " i condition all my beers in my crawlspace. its got a few steps leading down to an area with a very low ceiling. it reminds me of a hobbit's house. thus underhill brewery

 

[fluketamer]

some of my brews:

9 finger stout

misty mountain stout

keep it safe ale

the shire's lager

baggins's old mead

all tolkien references

im not even a huge fan it just works out well for the labels.


you get the idea

Radio Free Brewhouse?

 

[Airborneguy]

Cloaked Wizard Brewery. I’ve been playing D&D since I was 8 and have always preferred magic-users/mages/wizards so…

Ex-brother in law created my logo years ago (profile pic above).

[Psycotte]

Psychotic Brewing Company. Little play on my last name which is Cicotte.

 

[MaxStout]

I came up with this one for mine.

One day while brewing 10 gallons of Kolsch in my garage I noticed something rolling around in the boil. I fished it out and discovered it was a yellowjacket that had done a kamikaze into the wort. The beer turned out fine. The yellowjacket, not so much.

[Spartan1979]

Spartan's Hausbrauerei und Bierkeller.

At one time I was using Barley Island Brewing. I had gotten that off an Sam Adams calendar I had in the 90's. But later I found there was a commercial brewery in Indiana using that name. I wonder if they got it from the same calendar I did.

Frogtown Brewing after the little community where I grew up in central Mississippi. No fancy logo yet.

^^ I agree with this.^^
I live in an area where the wind seems to blow every day… some days worse than others. I was searching google images for something completely unrelated, and stumbled upon the picture I now use for my brewery logo. It seemed like it fit perfectly. Windblown Brewery.

I typically name my beers after life events, local landmarks, or thing that strike me about the particular brew. They just seem to pop in my head when I need them to.

[grampamark]

My oldest grandson named my brewery 5 years ago when he was a HS Senior and taking a metal fab class. He made the sign which now graces the door of my kegerator and gave it to me for Xmas.

This part of MT, the NE corner of Blaine County along the Canadian border, has been known as the Big Flat since the homestead days over 100 years ago. It‘s big, flat, and sparsely populated.

There’s a Gabel Road in Billings, MT. It’s a commercial street about 1/ 2 mile south of our city house.

Can't believe I missed Prairie Home Brewery

 

[Grizwold1]

Sometimes like nick names for yourself, you just need to let what your friends refer to it as be the name.

"Grizwold Brewing" comes from my brother-in-law. I tend to be, shall we say, somewhere between not being careful and accident prone, leading to his nickname for me Grizwold after the Chevy Chase character. And yes, sometimes my brew sessions are borderline OSHA alerts. But, hey--the beer is good!

 

[Beekeeper]

WBRU

Is an actual radio station.

 

[Skeeter686]

Electric Hairball Brewing because, well, my wife has cats.

 

[Erik the Anglophile]

Since I brew almost exclusively British/English ales, I thought it would only be appropriate to name it in that fashion.
The "Brand name" is Grundelin's, a combination of mine and my wife's surname, and the brewery it self is The Bear Brewery, since we have a lot of bear where I live.
Am working on a template design for labels for kegerator and bottles that will be based on old school Truman's and Sam Smith labels.

Holy Homebrew for beers. Brother Andrew's for wines.

Fun fact: I used to work for Garrison Keillor many years ago when he was living in New York City.

In a nod to one of the greatest movies of all time, mine is called The Hoppery. Monty Python fans will get the connection. My sailboat is called Ni, and our runabout Run Away! Yeah...I know....I have a problem.
