Re: Brewery names....what's your story?
well my warped sense of humor wanted to name it Big Johnson brewery(you ain't had a beer, till you've had a Big Johnson). swmbo said "that's not right." and made me change it so(in honor of her actually helping in the bottling department) it's Johnson & Johnson Brewery

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain

Come to life and fade away;
Who cares how time advances?
I am drinking ale today."

Jim, I'm afraid you misunderstood SWMBO. She was not objecting to you using the name "Big Johnson" as far as it might be too offensive to people, she was telling you that you can't call it that because it's inaccurate... In other words, the claim you thought you were making wasn't true and she was trying to let you down easy... Perhaps if you explain to people that it's after your beer gut?jimjohson wrote:well my warped sense of humor wanted to name it Big Johnson brewery(you ain't had a beer, till you've had a Big Johnson). swmbo said "that's not right." and made me change it so(in honor of her actually helping in the bottling department) it's Johnson & Johnson Brewery

Mine's The Inglorious Basterd Brewing Co.
Aside from being a cool Q. Tarantino flick, I liked the mix of having a distinguished looking gentleman with a mysterious and dubious background.

Our dog, Sugar is crazy. Not literally nutso but everything she does is huge. She overacts, she over pursues, she over barks, etc. I came up with the name based on the dog, as many others have done with their pets.

I just thought it was because she didn't want him offering a Big Johnson ("but it goes down smooth") to strangers on the internet. Especially if he put it in cans.jimjohson wrote:RickBeer wrote:Jim, I'm afraid you misunderstood SWMBO.

Well after some thinking, I have decided to change to Carchadon Brewing. It fits more with my themes of my brew names.
