Stories behind smithy/forge names...

I sure can't fault your Cracked logic, it's Holey appropriate.

If you to to the top of the page and click "USER CP" and edit your profile to show where you're located we might drop in for a visit sometime. Actually there're likely other smiths reasonably close to lend a hand, swat techniques or lies with.

That's a good name and it's catchy enough to survive a move.

My Mother and sister moved to a suburb of Boise recently and not far from their new house is Chicken Dinner Rd. I gotta tell ya it's tempting to move just so I could have the Chicken Dinner Forge.

Hmmmm, maybe I'll just name our driveway.

I've recently been toying around with the name "Kissing Turtle Forge"

it would make for a cool touchmark, and the turtle motif is from the native history that i teach; the world origninated on a turtle's back, all crafts from the forge.


I've yet to settle on it, but the other thing I have considered is using an alligator touchmark. I just didn't have a good name that relates, yet. Any ideas/opinions about either would be warmly received; I need to come up with something soon.

I've been home brewing a fair amount lately, and was thinking of trying to come up with a name that incorporated "Forge and Brewery". Not sure what the first part should be though. There is a brewery down in California called Ale Smith. That seems to use a blacksmith theme for their marketing. I sent them an email at one point though, and was a little disappointed about their response.. Some day I'd love to open up a small bar called "The Anvil" and have one side be plexiglas, and on the other side of the plexi would be the blacksmith shop. I figure people would get a kick out of watching people smith and drinking some beers..

That could have potential alright. Too bad the "Slack Tub Pub" is already taken. Eh?

Of course your brews would have Fuller flavor.

How about, Brews for the Hardy Soul?

Split with the Hot Set?

Straight Pein Pilsner?

Stand Bock?

Sledge Stout?

Molten Malt?

I wouldn't advertise Flatter beer though.

I've already got a good recipe for my Clinker Breaker IPA!

I was thinking about the marketing potential too.. Selling T-Shirts that say "I got hammered at The Forge"
