How to name your brewery
Written for craft breweries, brewpubs, taprooms and homebrewers going pro:
- Save the wild puns for individual beers and keep the brewery name grounded and trademark-friendly.
- Search the TTB label database and state trademark records early; beer is one of the most crowded trademark categories there is.
- Think about how the name reads on a tap handle, a can wrap and a hoodie, since merch is a real revenue stream for taprooms.
Common mistake: Avoid names that echo a well-known brewery, even loosely, because beer trademark disputes are common and expensive.
