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

PS the logo is a work in progress.

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.

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.

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.

Hop Mechanic Brewing

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

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.

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...

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.

^^ 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.
 
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.
