What's your brewery name?

[homebrewdad]

Mine is Confederate Dragon Brewing.

The gives a nod to both my Southern heritage and the fact that I'm a huge nerd (I still run a D&D website, and I turn 37 in a little over a week).

All of my beers have labels that feature a red dragon dressed in a gray Confederate soldier's uniform.

+1 Mug of Healing. Got to keep those hit points in check. You are no nerd, you are The Dungeon Master!

Edit: What's the website?

lol... it's The Red Dragon Inn.

Feel free to drop by! With responsibility and kids, I just don't get to tabletop anymore, but forum based games are still fun.

 

[LazySumo]

OK folks, complete blast reading all these names and reasonings why folks name their breweries. Keep 'em coming!

 

[SloppyGriffin]

Sloppy Griffin Brewing Company

The Griffin part represents my family's crest and the sloppy kind of gives the sense of non professional, do it yourself homebrewing.

 

[robfar]

Corcoran Brew Works. My grandfather Thomas Corcoran, who I never knew, was an Irish immigrant who homebrewed. My mother was the youngest of his eight children and told me there was always a bubbling bucket in the basement. I think that's pretty cool, so I honor him this way.

 

[TheBDizzle]

Bierded Brothers Brewing
We have beards and our buddy owns a clothing company named Bierd Inc. Seemed appropriate.

 

[ThatGeekGuy]

Imperial Brewing. The city I live in, Sugar Land, originally came about as a 'factory town' built around the Imperial Sugar factory in the early 1900s. A nod to the history and I like the sound of it.

 

[diptherunner]

Uphill Brewing. My buddy and I both live on top of big hills in upstate New York. Anywhere we have to go for ingredients, or supplies is up and down lots of hills. Seemed natural.

Also, with the challenges of life and family, having something that uses creativity and imagination like brewing and labeling, offers some outlet for fun. I know I'll never open a brewery, but in my house, I'm the head brewer. Ha ha

 

[Bussy]

Three Bald Guys Brewery. Yep, I'm bald and my two brewing friends are thin in the hair department also.

 

[Xanatos903]

Daphne Brewery.

My family is in possession of one of the last virgin prairies in Texas (Daphne Prairie), and I've spent a good deal of time out there hunting and working the land.

Why do people have a need to name their "brewery"? I don't own a brewery, so I don't have a name. I brew beer at home, and give it to friends, but don't name my "brewery" or my beers. I just tell folks "I made a dunkelweizen, try some and see if you like it"
If I was a commercial brewery I would have a use and a need for a name, but until then, why bother naming my fictitious brewery?
Not trying to be a dick, I'd like to hear people's motivations for this, I just don't see why.

It's just a fun thing to discuss when you are sitting around drinking your beer. You don't have to be a hater.

 

[Qhrumphf]

Three Arrows Brewing Co.

Based on a 1930s symbol used by the first movements actively resisting the rise of the Nazis, now recognized worldwide as a symbol of street-based antifascism.

 

[Beaner1082]

I think I'm gonna go with Dented Kettle Brewery. Just got my starter kit and they sent me a dented kettle.

 

[Zeitgeister]

Dawnland Brewing Company

 

[justabrewin]

I love blues music.

 

[92yjeremy]

BOHICA brewery.

Bend Over Here It Comes Again, common acronym in the military. After a long day of recourse and correction I enjoy sitting in the brewery (back bedroom in my house dedicated to our beloved craft) and letting the beer sort out the priorities of the days success or lack there of.

 

[DarrellD]

Cats Sass Brewing Company.

SWMBO and I have 4 cats, and every time I go to pet one that's what I end up seeing.
Our motto: "Drinkin' our brew will get you higher than a cats ...huh you know".

 

[adam62cb]

BAD ALE Brewing Company

It is my wife's initials followed by mine...

 

[TheRussMeister]

Hard Hill Brewing. Hard hill road, the road I grew up on and where I brewed for the first 3 years of my craft. Even though I don't brew on the street now, I get all my water from a well on that road.

 

[DromJohn]

Back in 1994, the Winston-Salem Spirit (High-A Reds) had a contest to rename the team. The bulk of the suggestions (over 1000) were Winston-Salem Camels. Ernie Shore Stadium shared a parking lot with R.J. Reynolds. Thinking that was the obvious choice, I submitted the only entry of Winston-Salem Dromedaries. The team chose Warthogs.

That year I joined an internet connected 28 team Strat-O-Matic baseball league. My team, was the Winston-Salem Dromedaries. We'd have boisterous email conversations, trolling, and reports, and there were lots of quotes that John said this, and Dave said that. The problem was that there were six of us Johns, a couple Daves and over time other non-unique first names. So we started calling ourselves by team names, Sud John, Mustang John, Dromedary John .... Soon my name was shortened to Drom John.

Drom John has a brewery. It's called Drom John Home Brew.

 

[noreaster40s]

West Branch Brew & Tap. Kind of self explanatory. I live on the West Branch River and we converted our kitchen into a tap room where I also brew. It's the same house I grew up in. I try to name the beers I make after local landmarks, people or things I remember growing up. Just makes it fun.

 

[jpeebs]

BogHog Brewing

I was reading the Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy books and, in the fifth book is a creature called a BogHog. Vile creatures whose only form of communication was biting. I thought it was funny. The first beer I brewed under that name I called Vogon Juice. That's my story.

 

[dustinstriplin]

Stinky dog brewing, name all my beers after my dog.

 

[masskrug]

I named my brewery corner after my late father's CB handle. White Cougar Brewery. I thought it'd be nice to honor him in this way,since we were also after work bar room buddies.

Nice! I remember the CB days, a simpler time.

 

[QuercusMax]

Quercus Maximus Brewing Co.

At my old house (now a rental cuz the housing market is bad) we have a big-ass oak tree. It's big enough I submitted it to Ohio's Champion Tree registry. Quercus Maximus means Big Oak in Latin.

Plus, as I learned later, in some versions of Monty Python's lumberjack song, they make reference to the "Quercus Maximus Bamber Gascoigni", which I've never managed to track down. So that's a bonus as well.

At one point my brother, a graphic designer, made me a really awesome logo and some labels for a class project. They looked awesome, but I'm lazy and putting labels on bottles is a pain in the arse, and I'm lucky to write in sharpie on my bottle caps...

 

[Pelican521]

I don't have a brewery name yet, i've only brewed one beer so far

I did however come up with a name for my first brew, Moose Hill Ale - English Pale Ale.

Hmmm, I don't think there are moose in England, are there? This may be a problem...

Quick, someone tell me some other interesting animals in England...

 

[TwoDogBrew]

TwoDogBrew

I have two labs that are constantly up my ass . They hang in the garage while I brew , but am always having to step over them.
