Pets named after beer? SHARE PHOTOS!

Got a chocolate lab just about two months ago and named him Porter, naturally.

Any other HBTers out there name their pets after a beer style, beer, or brewery?

Didn't see a thread like this via search, so I thought I'd start one up!

Here is a pic of the little guy!

Do hops count? Here's Amarillo.
We call her Amy . . .

You may not want to put your name address and phone number on the internet.

Cool pup though. Great name.

My yellow lab is named "Oberon".. (aka Obie)

Pahahaha

Yeah, what he said! You can read the dog tag clearly.

This is a cool idea for a thread.

Maybe I will get a big Gnarly Tom-Cat and name him Citra...

Here's our St. Bernard/Black Lab mix, Abby:


No, she's not named after beer, but she loves my homebrew and is always fairly close by when I'm brewing, so she's my brewhound.

And she's named after one of our favorite TV girls:

I'm totally doing this when I get my pup.

My wife and I are talking about getting a male Mastiff. I'm thinking about naming him Vorlauf.

My Border Collie is named Miller, but only because we got him named such, and he would not respond to Doorknob.

I knew a girl with a rotweiler named Guinness and a cat named Amstell.

Maybe I will get my kids a rabbit just so I can name it Hoppy.

Anyone name their beers afters pets?

Didn't even notice that until after the fact. I'll upload a new photo tomorrow. Thanks for the heads up!

Amarillo is an awesome name! And of course beer ingredients count! Never thought about hops!

This is a neat idea also. Before you know it there will be 20 dogs on your street named Krausen...

When my now exwife and I got married we had a cat named Sativa...yeah I grew up since then.

My Bernese named "Sierra" after Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.

My dog's name is Guinness...

Hahahahhh, yes!!!!!!!!!!

Somewhere around December of 2011 My Black Lab (Loki)



developed a really big boil on his snout, just under his left eye, and I'd just bottled a batch of Porter, so decided to name that batch "Loki's Boyle Porter"

Orange kitty named Citra.

Ha! I have a "Porter" too. This is my (late) dog Porter...... also named my "basement brewery/bar" after him:

When I was in college (30 years ago) we had a cat named Maui and it wasn't named after the island.

Not named after beer, just what happens after beer. Her name is Shenanigans.

Not named after a beer or brewery but its beer related! This is Brewster

My son and Guinness, my pekingese. He was a lot more black/tan when he was a pup, hence the name-

Not a beer, but we have a Saint named Maker after Maker's Mark, the last one was Bailly, Tequilla was the first.

Here's my baby, Luna. She always knew how to get comfortable. These were when she was only a few months old, she's 3 now... and much bigger, clumsier, and just as energetic. Not named after beer, but all of my beers are named after her, or following the Luna/Lunar theme. I have a logo too showing the outline of her head in front of a white orb, looking like the moon. Would definitely be the brewery name should I open one as well.

I named by Boxer/Beagle mix "Jager" after Jagermeister... he was adopted when I lived in a fraternity house before I really got into brewing/craft brews... and I was NOT gonna name him Busch, or Natty, or Miller

Vorlauf is a great name for a dog, or maybe even Count Vorlauf

I have a basset called George, cant say He's named after a beer, but we do call him growler after hes had a few.

You have to host a picture somewhere to use the [ img ] codes.

Growler is a great name for a dog. Funny that most others wouldn't catch the double meaning of the name!

I'm thinking Vorlauf the Destroyer. Sounds like a Viking name to me...

I was thinking the same thing, very clever.

Had a siamese cat named Chimay.

Porter seems like a popular name!

Here's mine, she's a lab/German shepherd cross

^^^^ Death to all sticks!
I've had a lab before. Once, I picked up well over 100 sticks from our back yard! He would literally jump and tear them out of the trees so he could chew on them for a few minutes...

This one has been known to raid the woodpile and spread logs around the backyard...

And here I was thinking it was an original!

Mine would rather chew/collect/play with sticks than his dozen or so toys we've bought him as well as others. Won't sleep in him dog bed either, prefers the floor!

I was thinking today that sparge would be a good name for an appropriate looking dog.
