Brewster's Millions

In honor of all the drunken shenanigans in Jarhead, I brewed some beer this weekend to put my recollectional skills to the test - how's that for a connection to the text? I've been brewing beer for about a year and a half now for no good reason other than people seem to get excited when you tell them you have a bunch of homemade beer and they should come over and drink it. I won't lie. I do harbor dreams of becoming the next Brooklyn Brewery(did you know there are 9 million people and only four breweries in all of NYC) but for now I have no investors, no space, no original handcrafted, perfected recipes - just a bunch of thirsty, cheap friends. That's not to say our friendship is cheap, but rather they prefer alcohol of the inexpensive variety.

Over the weekend I brewed a Pale Ale and and an Amber Ale and will be brewing a Bourbon Porter later this week. Which brings us to the current predicament - what to name these beers, what does the label look like? Furthermore - what should I name the brewery that will one day be known world-wide? I used to live a few blocks from the Gowanus Canal and my former roommate and I brewed beer under the fake name Gowanus Brewery. Previous beers have been named things like Phyrst Batch Ale, Indians Pale Ale (I'm a Cleveland Indians fan), Brooklyn Bitter,

Amber Alert Ale, Gowanus Wheat, Giant Patriot Ale (for last years' superbowl), O'Gwanus Stout and McWanus Red Ale (for St. Patty's day), Sashaberry Summer Ale (for my girlfriend Sasha's B-day), you get the point. Long story short - I live in a new place where I no longer have to listen to my roommate talk about beers like a lover "It has a strong backbone, potent character, and soft, fruity mouthfeel." So I need a new name for the new Brewery. I live near the corner of President & Henry St. so my only idea so far is President Henry Ales, but I think its kinda lame - Any suggestions?

Also, I want to put it out there that I would like to brew a 21st Century Lit Class Beer to be drunkened on the last day of class. I will brew whatever people suggest - SO WHAT KIND OF BEER DO YOU LIKE?
