Does your home brewery have a name?

[Bob E.]

I was loosely using Sand Lake Brew. Sand Lake was the name of the road I lived on. My uncle came up with it after sampling a few, and I kinda liked it. Now that I've moved I have been trying to decide on a new name.
This has got me thinking how many people have named their home brewery and what did you come up with?

[beerking]

A friend of mine, named Joe, has named his brewery "Joe's Garage Brewery."

I am calling mine Camelot Brewing...for now.

[cul8rv8]

Fly By Night Brewing for me. :)

[dparsons]

My softball team gives every player a nickname - nice or not. After bringing homebrews to the after-game festivities I got the name "Bootleg." I now call my operation Bootleg Brewing.

[btsager]

I like to keep it simple and use my last name, I am of German/Swiss origin so it works for now. The original spelling was Saeger, but after my ancestors moved to America it was changed to Sager, pronounced "Say - Grr", I will probably change it at some point keeping with a German Theme, but for now it is:

Sager Brewing Co.

[belsonc]

Dented Cap Brewing Co.


So named after one of my batches, where the "red capper" put an indentation in the top of the majority of the bottle caps in the shape (and size) of the magnet in the capper. :-)

[Otis_The_Drunk]

Toxic Waste Brewery

One of my last Jobs as a truck driver was hauling Toxic Waste. Besides I like the Name.

[brewwitch]

BrewWitch ... I'm a bit of a kitchen witch myself so I thought the name
would be perfect. Of course, to date I have only made one batch
which is still fermenting. But one has to start somewhere, right?

[Otis_The_Drunk]

This is true. I started brewing 20 years ago and I'm still like a kid waiting for Christmas when it starts fermenting.

[brewwitch]

Yeah I can see why this is addicitng.
my mind is already racing with ideas, thoughts, crazy concoctions!

In fact, the night before I brewed, I kept dreaming about it.
And last night, I dreamt some more.

[Beer Martin]

I started brewing with my college roommate a few years back and we dubbed ourselves "Shirtless Brewers" and brewed bare chested. Now that we both graduated and moved out I've gone with "Martin Brewing Co." and he goes by "Crazy Viking Brew."

[petitbilbo]

I go by Worringer Brewery (or rather "brasserie de Worringen" in french).

I am from Cologne, Germany and I live in Brussels, Belgium.
In my quest for a name that would have a relation with both these towns, I stumbled uppon Worringen; nowadays a subburb of Cologne. In the 13th century there ahs been a big battle there in which troops from Brabant (the region Brussels is located in) have joined the troops from Cologne to fight a common ennemi (the archbishop of Cologne).

For more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Worringen ;)

And I have to say: my Worringer Kölsch is quite tasty...

[darylM]

I have a willow tree in my front yard and my backyard so I call mine Two Willows Brewery

[Mad Scientist]

Mad Scientist Brewing Company for me...I am an environmental scientist, so you can see where it goes form there...

[nelstrodomus]

Brook Wood Brewery....name of my street as well...

[The Alchemist]

I brew with a buddy of mine who is a well known musician in our area. I am a HS chemistry teacher. So the name of our brewery is Scientist & Musician Brewing. Of course, that can be shortened to S & M Brewing.( What was I thinking?)

[Mad Scientist]

I am a HS chemistry teacher.

I'll bet the temptation to write the brewing process into your cirriculum is unbearable

[The Alchemist]

I teach an upper level chem class and occasionally can bring in some areas that overlap. Obviously, I try not to get too excited when I am talking about such things.

[Mad Scientist]

hehe...yeah...Contributing to the deliquwency of a minor....the school board frowns on that.....:D

[wortchillergoal]

The Hockey Barn Brewery which is proud to produce Blue Line Barleywine and Goal Crease IPA.

[gestyr]

I named mine after my wyfe: She Who Must Be Obeyed Brewery

[Bob E.]

I've been trying to come up with something related to some of my other interests, but I just can't come up with anything that sounds right to me.
I thought about going with my last name. I was always told it was of German origin, but I ran across a website while googling myself that says it originated in Belgium. So hey, either way :D Of course that website also wanted me to buy my family tree...
Right now I'm leaning towards sticking with the street name idea: Evans Street Brew House.

[chazwicke]

A friend of mine, named Joe, has named his brewery "Joe's Garage Brewery."



Love the FZ reference. I'm not sure I have tried any of Joe's efforts.


In the 70s and 80's it was Chucklebrau Brewing.

If I were to open a brewpub in Northern Virginia I would call it Patriot Brewing, sort of based on the colonial history. I like the concept of the future Mad Fox brewing for a brewpub in our area.

If I were to open a pub and no brewery I'd call it Chuck's Joint, or Chuck's Beer Joint. Hopefully it'd be a neighborhood hangout like Vienna Inn. A few simple foods and great beer selection with a couple of hand pulls. Comfy pub atmosphere with wood floors and wood tables and chairs. I might hang some of my breweriana. No loud music or TVs. No Sports bar crap. No meat market pick up bar crap. Just a simple, basic beer bar. A local place to hang out or stop by for a couple on the way home from work.

Sounds like my kind of place.

[cul8rv8]

yeah, me too. We are talking of opening a beer bar/brew pub in the near future, possibly in the Reno area, and I like the description. Just a nice, cozy place to call home away from home.

[Mad Scientist]

No loud music or TVs.

Nice classic rock, or stuff more eclectic like southern culture on the skids, but at a very manageable level, where you can talk at a normal level to the guy next to you. On the TV, I do like to watch the news while having a beer...and that is usually cause for at least one more...

[Otis_The_Drunk]

Low level Blues in the background would work.

[MrNate]

A framed and autographed picture of Ian McShane hanging above the bar would be a nice touch too.

[chazwicke]

LOL I've actually been a McShane fan long before Deadwood. I saw him play the devil in the Witches of Eastwick on stage in London years ago and I liked the Lovejoy series much.

[MrNate]

I had never heard of him before Deadwood, but I've heard people who have never seen the show rave about how good he was. I just thought it'd be a nice finishing touch to the bar, ya know?

[BrewGuy]

I travel to China a few times a year for work and some of my co-workers have taken to calling me "supa #1 Doug" in their best chinese/engrish accent. Likewise all the homebrews I share are known as supa #1 cherry stout, supa #1 pale, etc.

[deucedaily]

The Hockey Barn Brewery which is proud to produce Blue Line Barleywine and Goal Crease IPA.

The Rock Bottom here in Arlington re-branded their pale to the Blue Line Pale Ale when the Capitals built their practice facility in the same building (only 2 reasons I go to that mall). It has become a good spot for post beer league drinks as long as you don't get stuck with the late game (11:15 pm here).

I have named my brewery Deuce's Wild in honor of my last name that spawned some other nicknames (see userid).

I'm torn between "The broken chimney" or "The saltwater brewery".
The broken saltwater chimney brewery is just too surreal.

[Mad Scientist]

Actually, I like that one...eaves people wondering..

Where along the gulf are you? Did you get affected by the hurricane?

[hockeynut]

I have been called " The Potential Pirates Brewing Co." Being in a landlocked state and 3 hrs from the "North Coast" I guess I have to take what I can get. SWMBO is the one that coined the name and it has stuck, my daughters affinity for all things pirate also helped.

[M.K. Jeeves]

I live in Pensacola, FL. This one passed us by, I hope the people of south Texas, and Mexico fared well. I got hit by Ivan, and by Dennis a few years ago. Both blew down the ol' smoke stack as well as my privacy fence. A very small price to pay compared to what others dealt with. I could live with out ever seeing another one as long as I live, but unfortunately tis the season.

[Mill Rat]

I am waiting for the name to find me. My hot sauce, made with 7-8 lbs of habaneros per gallon, got named by a friend of mine as "Agent Orange." My pizzas got named "Portland Pizza" by a friend, who said that after he had had two slices of my extra-thick carnivore pizza, said that he felt like he'd eaten a bag of cement.

My house has three peaks on the front side of it hence the name 'Tres Picos' though I am not of spanish extraction.

Devil Duck Brewery. I live the ducks philosphy, "I'm a duck, quack - quack, it rolls off my back." Helps keep life in perspective and not let the little things get to me too often. Step daughter said her mother was maring the devil when we got married, so...

Being from WI, I would expect "Drei Spitzen." Doesn't have the same ring though.

Cornertown Brewery............ Its a actual town I live in, consists of a old half shed and............. well thats it! Gotta love the Ozarks. I think way back when they had a store here

[TeufelBrew]

No, of course not! I've converted her (11yrs old) to a brew chemistry fan and shown her what a reasonably mature adult male can be like and what it means to have a father figure around. ;) I even get goodnight hugs now after only a year and a few months! That's what I call winning hearts and minds.:D

We can tell. ;)

FYI:

Pico means bill or beak (the thing on the front of a bird's head).

Peak translates to cumbre, punta, or cresta in Spanish.

Tres Puntas has a nice ring to it. Would be even more entertaining if you had a creative typo, and left the 'n' out of it.

Thes har's a spectable joint, we don ken to no hoors in year!

[paulcgi]

the area where I live is called the End of the World by locals.. I've thought of using that.. but I'm lazy and just never did it.. nobody around to really tell the name anyway.. but my equipment does have a name, the "Beer Maker 3000"

[megaschnauzer]

mine's a mosquito infested sauna. "the swamp brewery"?

Yes, and you logo could be written in forty foot high flaming letters that will be a tourist attraction.

[beerking]

Yes, and you logo could be written in forty foot high flaming letters that will be a tourist attraction.

The logo would, of course, be "Don't Panic"

[Mad Scientist]

The logo would, of course, be "Don't Panic"

And the signature brew would have to be a Pan-galactic Gargle Blaster.

[TeufelBrew]

Would you get a discount for having your towel in hand?

[gestyr]

And don't forget the Slartibartfast Brown Ale and the Zaphod IPA

[Mad Scientist]

And don't forget the Slartibartfast Brown Ale and the Zaphod IPA

No, anything with Zaphod's name would have to be strange, odd and wild...like a lambic

[gestyr]

Zaphod Beeblebrox Double Chocolate Cinnamon Coconut Hefe-Lambic Pilsner?

[Mad Scientist]

Works for me...

[dparsons]

Tres Puntas has a nice ring to it. Would be even more entertaining if you had a creative typo, and left the 'n' out of it.

Tetons (of which there are 3) works too.

[dparsons]

It would need to have a shimmering quality to it.

[Tom C]

Acre Brewery @ 78 Wilson. The Acre is the part of town I live in and the street number I thought added a touch of class seeing I need lots of it lol.

[Powhatan]

I already had 6 sons before I started and since my "brewery" is like my seventh, I refer to it as "Septimus Brewing"... maker of "Flatrock Ale" - taken from the local township.

[Trashman]

Crooked Spine Brewery. My lower back curves to the right and my wife has scoliosis.

[SoxyinMO]

I thought I'd posted here, but it must have been a different universe. Our home brewery is Brewzhound for our beer-slurping dog, Sid.

[hfxer]

Silver Maple Brewery

Have a nice label done up for bottles.

Make up "6 packs" of quarts at Christmas - 2 bottles of 3 different beers - and give them to friends / relatives.

[texasliam]

some posibilities for names
Storm surge brewery.
Ike's-a-cummin brewery.
Where's my fema generator ale.
Floating carboy brown water ale.
Flood zone XXX

For a Galveston resident, I think Storm Surge Brewery sounds like a good classy one that will not fade or end up sounded dated.

The others are great sounding beer names though.

How did you pull though the storm.

[beerking]

I'm thinking I shouldl change the name of mine...something to do with "smoke" but I can't quite think of one. "Smoke Mtn" would be good, but that seems to specifically target the VA area and I may be moving soon.

[fretlessman71]

"Distant Smoke Mountain"?

[Mad Scientist]

Which is why Mad Scientist Brewing works so well for me....

[MrNate]

I think "Scad Meientist" has a nice ring to it as well.

[corysdad]

[Otis_The_Drunk]

"Smoke on the Brew water"

[DecoJuicer]

Mine used to be Bad Show Brewery, due to my affinity for horrible b movies.

However, I have since changed it to Hounds Den Brewery, to match the home bar I'm going to build some day(maybe this summer if everything goes right).

All of my older beers had bad movie names attached to them:

Boggy Creek Stout
Hercules Against The Blue Moon Men
Lawnmower Man Wheat

All of my newer brews have to do with hunting or hunting dogs.

Schwartzhund Lager
Hounds Breath Ale
Tree Slammin' IPA
7 Point Porter(named in honor of the 7 point buck that I got this year that will be adorning the wall behind the bar..complete with mugs hanging off the antlers)

My bar will also feature a stuffed raccoon bolted to bar top holding a bottle opener. I know that I am sick and twisted, but I have yet to meet a home brewer that did not laugh when I told them about my plan.

[MrNate]

Go Deep Purple... "Smoke on the Beer..."


I was actually thinking just "Smokewater Brewing Co."

Other ideas:

Smokewagon
Smokestack
Smoking Pope
Holy Smoke
Dixie Smoke (heh heh heh)

[gone_fishing]

I like Smokewater Brewing Company... just in case votes matter to ya.

Mine is Gone Fishing Brewery. So named because for the past 6 years I've been running bass fishing tournaments (2 trails... between 22-26 tournaments a season) here in Massachusetts and fishing the American Bass Angler nationals once a year somewhere in the good ol' USA so I've been "gone fishing" a lot!

[laneto]

I have a dog that's missing a rear leg, a three legger. I call my home brewery The Three Legged Dog.

[Mad Scientist]

Do you call him tripod?
