A new brewery in Battlefield, Shrewsbury. 4 approaches.
Something for the slightly geeky, Tolkien-loving ale drinker. A tried and tested style.
Toning it down a little.
And swapping the mysticism for a point of view.
It's a brewery, it's in Shrewsbury- how about Shrew Brew! We could even have a Shrew as the mascot!
Perhaps a bit abbrasive.
We really liked the Shrew idea, so tried a softer version to make things a little more palatable.
And there he is. An easily recognisable, easily gettable name, with a tone that comes naturally.
The beer goes into production over the next six months. We're also getting paid partly in booze. Which is nice.
