I appreciate all input into the naming of my brewpub and have narrowed it down to three. The choices are “The Landing”, “Reads Landing Brewing Co.”, and “Pepin Brewery”. Please post a reply and let me know which one you like best.
Also, once I determine the name, I will be setting up a facebook and twitter page to allow potential customers a chance to follow the progress and grand opening of the pub. If you would like to be included on as friends or followers, please send me a PM with your email address and I will add your name to my list. Once opened, I plan to offer spur of the moment deals on food and beer using twitter.
Pepin (unless it is a local place?) would seem to me to have a slightly ambiguous pronunciation, therefore I think I will go for Reads Landing Brewing Co. Is it Reads or Read’s?
He welds suplerfuous nipples, in plain sight, always in odd numbers. So anytime you give a tour - someone would say “that’s odd” and you could say - “EXACTLY!”. He’s got a sick sense of humor that way. :
If you expect to go big - I would think more than just The Landing and less localized than Pepin.
Other than owning a building, and having great consensus on the name… what makes you qualified for owning a brewery? This is educational - not a slam or opportunity to tear you down. Why do you think you’ll make it?
I voted already, but Reads Landing blah blah blah…
I have been in contracting since I graduated from college in 1984. I have worked for other people and owned my own business. I have grown tired of that business and realized that life is WAY too short to bust your a$$ doing something that just is not challenging anymore. My dad did that and worked until he retired at age 65. Two years later, he died of a heart attack.
While I have some experience with a restaurant, I have a real desire to brew beer and sell it to my customers. I want to do something that will not only challenge me but give me a sense of fulfillment. I know that the restaurant business is tough. I know that beer brewing is hard work. But there will also be a great reward when I sit down with my customers, tell them about my beer, and hopefully create a customer that will give up his Budweiser crap and see the light of an excellently crafted beer. If I fail, at least I gave it it my best shot!
