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!
 
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.

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.
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.

My patio was walled in some owners ago. It's not a very practical room from an objective standpoint. I put all my beer stuff in there and called it the beer room from day one. We still refer to it as the beer room, so I guess it's the beer room. Here's my logo...

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

PS the logo is a work in progress.
I need to work on logo (one of my sons has pics of our 2 dogs on their backs looking drunk but hard to do as logo). Named the brewery of course after our 2 adopted rescue hounds.

Drunk Dog Brewing!

Many years ago I worked as a pharmacy tech in a hospital here in Seattle. I had two nicknames while I was there; Blinky (blink and she's gone), and Speedbump (because I moved around too fast and apparently needed one). When the husband and I were trying to come up with names for the brewery, he's the one who suggested Speedbump Brewing. Sometimes I name my beers with roadworky-sounding names, or something to do with trucking (I'm a dispatcher in my work life). Husband had the sign in my avatar made for me two christmases ago. A dear friend also had another logo made for me (can't find it at the moment) which is a cartoon beer truck going over a bump in the road, and kegs flying out.
 
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.

Thank you for not posting that picture...
 
Broken Leg Brewery and Winery.

Pretty sure that one is self-explanatory, but if not I broke my leg badly playing hockey and I"m a hyper person so that was hard to be so immobile. I was already making wine, and got into beer since I could actually brew mostly in a wheelchair, but on crutches it was hard to carry stuff. It worked out anyway I guess....
 
Wigglebutts Brewery for all the Corgis and Australian Shepherds we’ve had over the years. Beers named for dogs; our’s, children’s, childhood, and those we sit. Sours get Foxy moniker for the several in the neighborhood which our current dogs think are dogs..

Black Canyon Brewing. My wife and I live on a golf course complex, Blacklake. There's actually three 9-hole courses and our home sits on the 6th fairway of one of the courses called The Canyons.
Blacklake + Canyons = Black Canyon.

Here's an early rough sketch of my logo.

And here's a label from an Oatmeal Stout I once brewed called Dr. Tarr, taken from "The System of Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether," a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe.

I need a logo. All you folks have some nice logos... I want to get one that I could also get a tattoo of... but not on my a**

Sounds like a beautiful place to watch the sun rise and set, but I do wonder if you've had much cause to name a brew something like; "Broken Window Blonde" or somesuch.
Love the Dr.Tarr! Trivia: It was Edgar Allen Poe and not some scientist who first posited that though every point in the sky contained a star, yet our nights are dark on only punctuated by the closest, that their light had merely not yet reached us, thus light had a speed of travel.

Thanks. We've been here seven years now, and luckily no broken windows yet. Hopefully I haven't just jinxed myself. We've had a few roof tiles replaced though.

Sunsets are nice when the evening marine layer, (something I called fog when I lived in NY 😉), doesn't blot it out.

When the house was built they plumbed a natural gas line to the back patio. I've got my Weber grill attached, but I move it out of the way on brew days to make room for my Blichmann nat-gas burner. Lots of questions from golfers wondering what I'm cooking. When I tell them they all say they'll be back when it has been turned into cold beer.

Interesting trivia on Poe. I hadn't heard that before.
