Three Brothers changes name to Brothers Craft Brewing

Probably because of Two Brothers in Illinois?

 

Interesting. Hard to tell, but it sounds from the tone of the post that they may have worked out an arrangement with another brewery on the new name (Two Brothers would be my guess as well, but who knows). Without an agreement, you'd think they would have just dropped the "brother" completely, as I doubt just dropping the "three" would have definitively resolved the potential issue.

 

Lots of breweries with "Brothers" in the name ... I guess three is too close to two but what about four?

Cool, I submitted the name request this morning.

I wonder what brewery was giving them problems.

 

I won't say yes, but I won't say no either.

 

How about '5-3+1 Brothers Brewing'?

 

Somehow we would all still be stupid enough to get it confused with someone else and buy the wrong package.

 

It may not have been any brewery actually giving them trouble. There are other scenarios. Especially if they had been trying to trademark their name. It may not have been granted.

 

I also think there is a winery named Three Brothers...unless its the same people

 

It was ....

 

Maybe they decided the third brother was a total dick.

 

You may have info outside of the press release. Reading the press release it does not say who actually initiated the contact. I know of a similar situation where the brewery that changed the name initiated the contact and the press release read basically the same. My main intent was to honor 3 brothers not wanting to name the brewery and the subsequent vitriol we will hear.

edited to say. Good job 3 brothers for handling a situation as an adult.

 

All good. I won't take the route I'd like to take either and I'm impressed with the way Adam and the gang have handled it. It's true I know a little more than what is out there, but for the sake of being the bigger guys, I won't go there. As much as I do know, I wasn't in on how the announcement would be made. I was more than pleasantly surprised and when I read it I felt good about it, because in the end, Three is better than Two and what's better than both? Infinite. So Brothers Craft Brewing is bigger than numbers. It's silly, just like some of the other brand fights, but hey, what's done is done and it's time to show them that they didn't actually win.

 

I wouldn't put "Brothers" "Dog" or any other generic name in my title at this point. It's a cluttered market, so why get confused to Two Brothers and likely others that area already out there.

 

Meat Whistle Jigsaw Brewery

 

It'd be an easy google search

 

Right? At this point people need to just start making up shit. I think Gluuden Steinophel Brewing Co. sounds ..... well, ridiculous. But at least no one owns it!!!

I blame this on Common Core!
