Almost everybody who homebrews will eventually start naming their beers. My wife and I named our brand of beers “Bad Bunny Brewing” after the rabbit we got as a wedding gift (I gave starter homebrew kits as grooms men gifts so a reciprocation by naming our beer after our favorite wedding gift seemed seemed appropriate), and all our beer names are rabbit themed with some innuendo thrown in (for example we name a wine I made “Menage Paw” because it came out pretty high in alcohol).
So the question is…what theme do you have for your beers/wine and why?
I was going to Lehigh U, in Bethlehem PA when I started brewing, Lafayette was our rival (most played rivalry in college football). My wife tells me I shouldn’t voluntarily associate the word ‘suck’ with my beer though, so I’m working on a new name, but nothing is really grabbing me.
I snicker every time I say it! When I moved to OR in 1975, I drove by it and said “Who the heck would ever live on a road named that?” 16 years ago, I found out…me! Terrible name, beautiful place. I tell people it’s where you go to drown your poodle…sorry, poodle lovers!
Isles of Langerhans are the part of the pancreas that produces insulin. Mine have been stone dead for many years, so this name is my little joke with myself.
I deserve it for having a hobby that I shouldn’t.
Gato Blanco Brewery, in honor of our mostly white cat.
Individual beers get silly names or references to the beer that inspired them, like Broken Hearted Ale for when Bell’s pulled out of Illinois – thank goodness that didn’t last.
