    Is anyone actually planning to do any of the above? Just curious.

    Well I think manufacturing of the heavy cans and pull tabs would be prohibitive, let alone the lawsuits by representatives of Led Zeppelin may cause my plans to be railroaded..... Not to mention how the Brewers would feel about my little play on names


    I don't know about drinking anything from balls deep but I'd go there if I had two.....

    And I'd hate to see a collaborative effort between Balls Deep and Gay Donkey... things could get real ugly

    If there was ever a band to theme your brewery after - I can't argue with Led Zeppelin.

    Going to California California Common

    AWESOME! "The Beer Remains the Same" must be an American lager, right?

    Altex Brewing named after my grandpa's old business.

    I'd start with a great porter, brown ale and dopplebock.... because I love those styles..ha.

    Wreckless Brewing. I actually think a brew pub would be more fun to start with...

    Pub Ale - exclusively available on cask every day of the week replicating the way it was done before nitro-taps came along. Highly drinkable with a modest ABV.
    Six Shooter Pale Ale - six hop additions during the boil.
    12 Gauge IPA - twelve hop additions. (did someone say 'citra'?)

    There would of course be a stout/porter option or a hoppy brown ale and seasonals. Ahhh, I can dream.

    Xolotl
    Itztli
    Xocotl
    Tezcatlipoca

    Perhaps i would purposely misspell it to avoid copyright infringements :wink:. Furthermore I would commission tyson cadoo from lowbrow art to create my bottle artwork . He draws the most fabulous ladies!

    My friend's Furious clone is called Surely Curious.

    In my imaginary brewpub (actually am planning on doing it when I "retire", but not with this idea lol) I would expand from our best hb beer now, Hop Psychotic IIPA, to a whole line of mental defects beers.
    Manic Marzen
    Personality Disorder Porter
    Alzheimers Pale Ale
    Dementia Double Stout
    Multiple Personality Black and Tan
    Paranoia Pilsener
    OCD Wild Ale
    etc.

    The pub would be named Liquid Therapy

    Why would I post my multi billion dollar ideas on a public forum.

    Here's one:
    Non alcoholic IPA called Mormon Juice.

    Also another one:

    Jim Jones Barleywine; an 18% barleywine aged in young pinot noir barrels and then hit with brettanomyces during bottle conditioning.

    I'd dig the Zeppelin theme if spmeone else did it - me, I'd be more apt to start a 4AD-themed brewery, which I'd call It'll End In Beers, featuring:

    Milk & Honey milk stout (with, um, honey)
    Lonely Is An IPA
    Stars On E.S.B.
    Pale Saint Pale Ale
    The Wind That Shakes barleywine
    Dig For Fire rauchbier (okay, this one is kinda weak)

    If I ever lacked immediate inspiration for a beer name, the Cocteau Twins catalog is an easy muse.

    I can't think of a name for the brewery, but I'd do something similar to HF and name my bears after family members that have influenced my life.
