Re-name the Brewhouse Contest!

[Scotto]

Good Citizens,

As with most topics, at B&B we are blessed with people passionate about coffee and tea. In response to this, we recently created a new sub-forum, "The Brewhouse," where we can all kick back and discuss that great cup of tea or coffee, brewing devices and paraphernalia, or other highly-caffeinated topics of interest.

Since there is potentially some opportunity for confusion with beer, we would like to change the forum name to something more distinctive. What better source of creative ideas than the B&B membership itself! With this in mind, we would like to announce the "Re-name the Brewhouse" contest. Here is how it will work:


The contest will run until October 17 12:00 EST
Add your idea for a forum title to this thread. There are no limits to how many times you can enter.
Each post should include just your suggestion to make it easier for us to sort through
The moderators will review each entry and choose their favorite one
The lucky winner will receive a gift of home roasted coffee from Scotto (assuming CONUS, given freshness issues), or some other goodie in the case of a winner outside the US, as well as the personal satisfaction of having their stamp on B&B forever.

Bagged as I am from my recent trip to Java (oolongated-shaped island in the south Pacific), I am (like the French) pressed to be creative in the early gray of the morning before my English Breakfast. Man, I like that breakfast ... I wouldn't trade it for all the wine in China.

Wait, that doesn't sound right. There's not much wine in China. Hmm ... now I have to think of a better expression. What is there a lot of in China, that's vauable? Dang, now that's two things to think about. Man, what a grind ... a real burr in my side. Gunpowder? I think the Chinese make gunpowder!

Hmm ... for you Canadians out there, can we call the new forum ...

The Double Double ?



or ... Jack's Magic Beans

The Black Room (real men don't need sugar or cream)

[sehrgut]

A few suggestions:

After-Lather
Coffee House and Tearoom (I know, I know . . . go for boring)
Kaffeehaus
Leaves and Beans (Edit: beat to it by four minutes, but I think it sounds better in this order . . .)
Leaves and Grounds
Dust and Fannings (my favourite)

[JBHoren]

Steep Ascent

(check with the Mods for my mailing address)

But seriously, this name hearkens to:

the process of making a pot/cup of coffee/tea
the aroma of said brew
the best coffee and tea being grown on mountain-sides, at high elevation

[sol92258]

actually, about 5 hours,....:rolleyes:


how about:
The Boiling Point

[TimmyBoston]

"Beer, It's not just for breakfast anymore!"


Oh wait, this isn't a beer forum. Oh well. :biggrin:

[micah1_8]

how about:
The Boiling Point

I think you might be confusing this thread with any one of the political disscussions going on around here. :wink:

[sehrgut]

actually, about 5 hours,....:rolleyes:

I saw the "Brews Beans and Leaves" and "Badgers, Beans, and Leaves". I was referring to:


Beans & Leaves at 4:04.

ah, got ya....
at 3:34 :wink:

[Anton von Tripp]

What about "The teddybears picnic" ?

[Doc4]

To take a riff off of the popular book about bad punctuation, how about

Drinks, beans, and leaves.

[kongjie]

Probably not the most appropriate, but I am rather fond of:

How to be a Good Server OR How to Convince an Entire Shaving Forum You're a Jerk

[Doc4]

Hope springs eternal but that just springs one.

[jkh]

Hmm, the "Everything Else" has the following forums:

The Barber Shop
The Speakeasy
The Brewhouse (which is being renamed by this thread)
The Darkroom

How about The Café. This is simple and fits in the scheme that is already in place. Although, café does imply coffee, rather than tea and coffee.

[jkh]

Oh, how about The Tea Bag Room ... what a minute, nevermind :blushing:

[ouch]

After tasting a 2002 CNNP Mingdao sheng, Mrs. Ouch, who is far too shy and retiring to submit her own entry, said "I think I'll stick with my twigs and dust".

So far, none of these entries has jumped off the page, so to speak.

[biomesh]

Simply: "That's Hot"

The Hot Shot (my weapon of choice for boiling water :thumbup:)

The Morning Buzz (on that note for the carpenters here, the morning...nevermind)

The Cappateano

The Two Brews


actually, The Full Mug is kinda growing on me...

[TimmyBoston]

Freshly Brewed
The Coffee House

I still like The Potheads though

[profsaffel]

"Grinders"

or

"The Daily Grind"

To take a riff off of the popular book about bad punctuation, how about

Is that like gas food lodging?

Sorry about this but I couldn't resist.
Steeping on hallowed grounds

[micah1_8]

Could go for a German name:

Leifzenbëins

[infotech]

Caffeinated Culture

or

The Caffeinated Speakeasy

[Dinder1]

Grounds for Discussion.

[sol92258]

I thought of this, not because it directly relates to discussion of teas and coffees, methods, etc, but of the image of the gentlemen sitting around, drinking coffee, shooting the breeze:

The Campfire

and this, not necessarily for the first mental image that comes up, but because of the refined discussion on the finer points of coffee and tea:

The Refinery

and if all means of creativity otherwise fails:

The Ottocs ("Scotto" bassackwards)

[ouch]

Could go for a German name:

Leifzenbëins

How about something in Lithuanian?

[Scotto]

How about something in Lithuanian?

Obviously Ouch didn't read my note about keeping this thread clear of extraneous information....

[DeaconKC]

The Mustache Cup

[micah1_8]

Joe T's Cafe

[CitizenDan]

The Pourhouse

[expatCanuck]

the Caffeine Connection

[Less Irritated]

Try these on:
The Percolation Location
Steeped in Tradition
The BBS Cafe

or simply:
The Cafe - a bit boring I know, but it avoids the tired puns that every coffee shop seems to use in their names and gets across the coffee (and tea) idea and social atmosphere that seems to be the aim of the forum. Anyone else lived in a town with a "Daily Grind" or an "Uncommon Grounds" or a "Freedom of Espresso?" Yeah, me too.

[johnniegold]

All The Brews That Fits...

[Spacegeezer]

Hot Water
The Infusions
The Bubbling Kettle
The Boil and Pour

[SRock]

Since this is Badger and Blade why not something simple/similar like:

The Cup and Saucer

Here are some other possiblities:

The Badger Beanery
Badger Beans
Grand Brew Auto (for the young crowd, LOL)
The Best Little Coffee House in Badgerville
Can't Stop; Need Coffee
Alternative Fuels
It's A Grind
For Once its Not Shave Soap in Your Mug
The Bean Just Brewed
Bean There, Done That
One Lump or Two?
Bottomless Cup
The Buzz
Higher Ground (for the spiritual crowd)

If I think of any others, I'll be back!

[Scotto]

OK, folks. We'll be looking through the entries this weekend and we'll announce the new name next week. Thanks for all the great ideas!
