Naming your brewery/winery etc?

[Druss]

I've seen a few examples around here of people naming their brewing ventures i.e. 'Effinbrewery' (Aleman) & 'The House of Badger' (Narmour), I just wondered if this is a really common thing to do? I'm struggling to come up with an interesting name, so far I have 'Bob's Brewhouse' (Bob being my middle, and most used, name and the 'brewhouse' is the shed in which I do all my brewing) but that doesn't really sound great.

Anyone else named their breweries?

I have, even though it's just for fun since I don't actually brew for anything other than for a fun hobby.
Mine is the Megaton Brewery, named after a city in the computer game Fallout 3: all of my beers have Fallout-themed names.

Mines PD's Brewery for some reason...
Its all just a bit of fun, ( better than saying I'm off out to the shed or garage )
But I got a nice little sign made and it look's quite nice on the wall behind the pots.

It's overkill to call it a "brewery", but when SWMBO and I were looking at places to buy, the one we settled on had a cellar. You can't stand up in it, so we ended up referring to it as "the bunker". Hence - The Bunker Brewery.

I can't actually brew in there, but from my biased point of view, it's a lovely little hole - brew fridge, supplies of hops & grain, and about 200 bottles of homebrew :)

There's a little Victorian cast-iron "window" for ventilation, which because I'm sad enough to create my own logo, ended up being the centrepiece for my labels:

When I first started brewing, we lived on Summer Creek Road. It sounded like a proper brewery name so I went with it. My sister-in-law is a graphic artist so she designed this logo for me.

I'd love to see what graphic she would come up with for my brewery Barry....

I'd love to gee what graphic she would come up with for my brewery Barry....

:sick:

I don't think I'd want to! She's got a warped sense of humor though so we might be surprised :lol:

Mine is only in the spare room but going to have to think of a name

 

[Maffa]

My brewery has been moved by the wife to the spare bathroom, Maybe I should call it 'The crapper' :sick:

For those familiar with Navy slang, I guess that makes you The Head Brewer? (sorry)

 

[musher]

Mrs M has christened my venture "Le Petit Hérisson Brasserie"

 

[Moley]

Mine's about as imaginative as PD's.

Moley's Brewery / Winery / Boozery.

That last bit isn't original either, I've nicked it off someone else but can't remember who to credit.

 

[MadrikXIV]

My wine labels are labelled as 'Fat Cat' as I have a fat cat getting in the way most of the time, then with a 'suitable' name for whatevers in it

Beer is generally kegged so nothing fancy there other than a post it note stuck to said keg

 

[fbsf]

Mine's the Sadley Broke brewery, for no other reason than I live in Bradley Stoke, Bristol.

Well, that and I'm skint.

My "strawberry blonde" mate has christened his brewery Amberknackers...

 

[Darcey]

Mine is called Amylase as I needed an actual trading name for all my brewery work and it seemed like a good idea. Before that it was 'Darceys' as that's nice and simple.

It is known as the 'Man Cave' with in the house as its in the cellar there is: brewery, darts, tv, pc, draught beer and surround sound. (its not as professional as it sounds!!).

D

 

[screamlead]

I call mine KEMBRU as i live in Kemer turkey and i Brew ! no graphic as such so need some inspiration peeps :

 

[Druss]

Having a sign made is an interesting idea, probably wouldn't go down well with swmbo though, she's t-total so homebrewing is a source of great evil as far as she's concerned :thumb: lol

 

[PD]

get her ****** one night...she'll thank you....

my condolences to you

I named mine Woodland Brewery as I have a woodland at the bottom of the garden and I'm into nature (note not naturism) the outdoors and errr beer :grin:

I'm also going to try and name my AG brews with a woodland/outdoors/animal theme to fit, or maybe I won't.

It's all just a bit of fun.
