How to choose a great brewery name

  1. 1

    Pick a story angle (local landmark, founder legend, a quirk) — the best brewery names come with a tale for the taproom.

  2. 2

    Make sure it works on a can and a tap handle at small sizes.

  3. 3

    Craft beer is crowded; search the TTB and trademark databases before you brew a label.

Frequently asked questions

How do I come up with a brewery name?
Start with what makes you local or personal — a river, a road, a family story — then explore words that carry that spirit. Avoid generic 'Hops & Barley' territory.
Can two breweries have the same name?
Trademark conflicts are common in craft beer and have forced rebrands. Do a thorough search before committing to a name or label.
Should the name include 'Brewing' or 'Brewery'?
Most do, as a descriptor; the distinctive part is what goes on cans and merchandise. Choose the descriptor that fits ('Brewing Co.', 'Taproom', 'Ales').
