24fps 1 #1 January 16, 2015 I'm launching a new brewery here in Colorado this summer called, Blue Skies Brewing Company. We'll be in Longmont, CO about a mile from the DZ and we hope to open the doors by June. I need some help with the names. I've been calling our basic IPA the Free Fly IPA but a friend suggested Horny Gorilla IPA. My wife was concerned that many folks won't get it. The artwork of course would explain what a horny gorilla is. Our beers will mostly be skydiving themed but we also want to have some beers that are named after rock climbing, river sports and mountain biking. What do you guys and gals think? Names so far: Wild River Blonde Ale Belly Down Brown or Head Down Brown Swoop the Pond Saison - Made with yeast collected at the DZ Free Fly IPA/Horny Gorilla IPA Chocolate Stout - No name so far Double IPA - No name so far Bavarian Wheat Porter - No Name Porter - No name Thanks gang! www.facebook.com/blueskiesbrewingsomething funny and unique Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyMarko 1 #2 January 16, 2015 You'll have to bring some down to Denver for me to try...I'm no good at naming unless I've tried a few samples Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24fps 1 #3 January 16, 2015 I can make that happen! Right now I've got bombers of the brown and chocolate stout. I'm about to bottle the scotch ale and the Bavarian Wheat Porter. I'll have the blonde and IPA ready in about 2 weeks. Let me know what you want to sample and I will get it to ya. something funny and unique Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

billvon 2,991 #12 January 16, 2015 >Blue Skies Brewing Company Blue skies brewing is the name I've been using for my homebrew ventures. I've got a case of glasses with logos on them I can send you once you open. Names I've been using - Skydiver Blonde (based on the now-defunct Lang Brewery's beer of the same name) Swooper Stout (based loosely on McMenamin's Terminator stout) Sitfly Saison (my own recipe) Memphis Dark and Stormy (stout made with whiskey yeast) Dan BC Dubbel (special release) Twin Otter (Maris Otter amber) Bigway Brown (standard extract-based brown; can be made very quickly for bigway events) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #25 January 17, 2015 I'm not a fan of the Horny Gorilla name because I wouldn't want to have to explain that term to any kids who might be hanging around. (We're big family people, there always seems to be kids running around!) If you don't like Free Fly, how about "Head down"? Besides being a freefly term, it's also a play on words along the "bottoms up" that people say while drinking. Or, you could just name one after your favorite dz.com Moderator. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
