Whats the deal with "dog" and brewing names?

[ChshreCat]

Mine is Big Black Dog because I have the greatest big black dog ever, and I like to do everything I can to fight
Black Dog Syndrome.

One of our dogs is a beer fiend. He only weighs about thirteen pounds though so, we have to be very careful how much we give him.
My wife wants to name our beer after him. She wants to call it "Colonel Angus Ale"
He has a weird licking fixation too.

Wow, the black dog syndrome is really sad. I didn't realize they were so overlooked. Most the dogs in my life have been black or chocolate.

I have a Hungarian Vizsla named Red Dog that I wanted to name my home brewery by. It is bad enough that people would think I named my dog after a wretched beer. I don't want them to think I named my wonderful ales after an uninteresting lager.

BTW: GIS for Vizsla vizsla - Google Image Search

Was not aware of this. My dog was truly rescued because he was two days away from being put down. He had been in the pound for 7 weeks 5 days and was the saddest skinniest smelliest dog in the joint. We suspect he was overlooked because he is a Chow mix which has some reputation for being aggressive. He is the sweetest dog I have ever had.

He has also made a great model for my coffee bags. It is funny the way people act when they realize that the dog on the bag and my actual dog are one and the same. I took him to a party once and a couple people there recognized him from the coffee they had at home. They acted like they were in the presence of a celebrity.

I was unaware of the problem.

Black Dog Syndrome really is a shame. I'm proud to say that my rescued dog is a black lab mix, and she's as black as the ace of spades.

 

[llazy_llama]

Do llamas like beer?

Yes! How about cats?

 

[llazy_llama]

Edit: But look at my dog in my avatar. She loves beer.

I thought that was a rabbit

 

[ChshreCat]

Yes! How about cats?

Yes... yes we do.

I don't give a damn what other people name their brewery. It isn't a fashion show or 3rd grade art. Do what makes you happy and go with it.

Watch out. Today it's dogs. Tomorrow he'll be after us gnomes.

I don't know, Rabid Gnome would make a great beer name.

I might have to use that one.

You could give it a catchy slogan like "hopped up and foaming at the mouth".

Here in England, it's pretty much an unspoken rule that all pubs must have a resident dog! In fact, in my local there are usually 3 or 4 dogs walking about - Once last summer a customer came in and asked the publican 'do you allow dogs in your pub?' to which he replied 'Absolutely! I prefer them to humans!'.

Another local pub around here called "The Gribble Inn" has a massive basset hound called Puzzle who walks around eating chips people have dropped on the floor and generally getting very fat! Their brewery (The Gribble Brewery) made a beer called "Puzzle's Revenge"

As far as I'm concerned, dogs and beer are basic staples of a mans life (or womans life!) and if people want to name there brewery/beer after their dog then good on them!

dogfish, as in dogfish head beers is actually a species of shark (hence the shark on the label). so that beer in particular has nothing to do with dogs besides the coincidental name

As far as the brewery is concerned, Dogfish Head is actually a place...

Considering using the word "Dog" in all future posts.

Has anyone seen my "dog".

There's one.

Does 'DAWG' count, or just 'dog'?

 

[ShortSnoutBrewing]

PLEASE tell me that you brew a "Short Snout Stout..."

HA! Actually, I do Bird...It was actually a stout that helped come up with the name! It was my first brew to actually place in a contest.

I've learned a new word today. I'll have to put that one in the vault.

You can't help but love a beer named Old Leghumper.

Because Camel Toe Hefeweizen does not sound awesome...

I almost named my brewery "sun dog" which has nothing to do with dogs at all. A sun-dog is a celestial phenomenon where the sun casts a halo in a misty sky. Kind of like a giant ring-shaped rainbow around the sun. It looks like this:



The reason I did not go with sun dog is because the mighty Anheiser-Busch dicided they needed another beer label since the dozens they have are not enough. They produced a "sun dog" that featured a cartoonish dog with sunglasses and a bandana around the neck. I think it looked like it was ready for frisbee or something. Anyway, totally took the wind out of the sails...
