Gulf Brewery - Your Chance To Name The Beers

[Boots]

I figured that the G has a secret double life has a fishing hook, and the "string" was fishing line (?) - and to be honest, i much prefer it to the jumping fish.

 

[PeterS]

Sorry Pedro. I also do not like the line approach. Somehow it does not advocate a brew or brewery even though it is nautical in nature.

:chug:
PeterS....

Nice logo Pedro. Certainly gives connotations of something more refined than megaswill, with the style being more like a wine than beer label(tho brewery does give it away :blink: ). Need to stand out and be different in the marketplace to get the attention of your target market, and this looks to try and achieve that.

But I agree that the knot/string looks out of place just hanging there.

 

[PhilS]

hmmmm interesting.... G-string beer, must try it

 

[NRB]

I also thought the string looked like a bee or fly. Otherwise it's a reasonable logo Peter.

Thanks everyone for the names. After much deliberation and butchering of names, the Gulf Brewery will use the following names

Fish Tale Pils
Humpback Pale
Cabin Boy halfwit
Squid Ship Stout (imagine ordering that one after you have had a few) or Sou'wester Stout

We will also use these names for limited release beers in the future
King George ......
Drinks Like a Fish

and of course, if we do a big beer, we will use
Full Gale

Now we still have a problem naming two beers. The light (low alc) lager and the oktoberfest. While we liked the names around the Colonel William Light we may have trouble with them. Also, the Half Mast while a good name will be confusing with the Cabin Boy halfwit. The Oktoberfest may be marketed as a dark lager as the name Oktoberfest may be a bit confusing to the normal punter in Australia, so think nautical themes around dark beers.

So, put your thinking caps back on again to get an exclusive T-Shirt (they are so exclusive at the moment, they haven't been made yet/still).


Cheers
Pedro

Full Eclipse Dark Lager (ie full eclipse of the moon/sun)

Some suggestions -

Light Breeze
On Deck Octoberfest

 

[GMK]

Cant wait for me free t-Shirt - going straight to the Pool Room - (ie Cabin Boy HalfWit)...No jokes now guys...

Ok - how about LightWind Lager...
and then you can have a DarkWindFestival Ale/Gale.. Might fit in well with the other names..esp the Full Gale when u do a big beer.

Or Half Anchor .... Or if i can build on BigD's idea...LifeJacket Light Lager
Doc's idea - Dark Moon Festival Ale.

Hope these help.

fish name.not sure if you can get them in sa but a long tom light.

Light beer" zephyr pale."

zephyr ( P ) Pronunciation Key (zfr)
n.
The west wind.
A gentle breeze.

On a wind theme ,"Doldrums dark lager."

"Tempest dark"

Or a more playfull name "beaconflash" dark lager.

"rocky point"dark lager.

"squid ink dark lager"

Sou wester stout is a winner IMHO,rolls off the tounge and is catchy and memorable.

good luck sifting through this lot

P.s if i win a t shirt I'll wear it to every major event in sa i can manage to get to :excl:

Good Day

For the octerberfest;

Night Watch Dark Lager

Red Beard Lager (if it is more the Vienna colour)

Light Beer:

Ebb Tide Light

Lighthouse Light

 

[nonicman]

For the Dark Lager,
Storm Cloud Lager
Thunderhead Lager
or for a more naval theme
Sumpy (from "sump up the rump")
for the light
Sexton (drink this and you will still be able to navigate)

 

[PostModern]

Eight Bells Lager - for the Oktoberfest (eight bells signifies end of a watch).
Kon Tiki Light?

And a late suggestion for the logo, maybe a proper nautical knot or at least fishing line knot rather than a bow would improve the look? The bow is a bit messy, imho.

 

[Gulf Brewery]

Kon Tiki Light?

This wouldn't be related to you memories of a Contiki bus tour or swim through of Europe would it PoMo? :beer:

Cheers
Pedro

 

[Gulf Brewery]

Well folks, things are finally happening. I hope to have the beer in a prominent Adelaide hotel within the next couple of weeks (I that in November too ) I have had a few hold ups because of lack of time and other commitments.

As part of naming the beers, I promised shirts to those that came up with the names.

The first set of names that are going to use are
Fish Tale Pils - PhilS (a close match)
Pilot's Light - no one
Humpback Pale - Barry
Cabin Boy halfwit - GMK
Sou'wester Stout - Brauluver

Could those listed PM me with their address and shirt sizes please?

If I have got any of these names wrong, I am sure someone will let me know.

Cheers
Pedro

 

[PhilS]

WooHoo I'm stoked, thanks for the opportunity :super:

Thanks very much Pedro. PM Sent

 

[wee stu]

Can I get the Pilot's Light tee shirt, I don't think it will fit no one

 

[bindi]

Wish I had not missed this one my up coming brews have nautical themes also.
first one is "Coxswains Swill" the next "Pussers P#ss" and so on like" Midshipmans left leg" etc
