A brew by any other name…

July 27th, 2010 by Mary Ellen Brewington

Cherokee Distributing Company distributes over 200 products including both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. We have a great portfolio of beers of which we’re very proud to represent – ales and lagers, classics and seasonals, big-name beer brands and independent American craft brews. There’s a taste and style to suit everyone.

In that variety, there’s also a lot of interesting histories, odd names for brews and breweries, unique logos and eye-catching packaging. We’ve selected some of the most unique names and labels seen in our warehouse to share with our ‘On Tap’ readers. Some have really great stories about their origins that you can share with a buddy over a drink and impress with your beer knowledge. Or, next time you’re at the store picking up a six-pack, look for these interesting brews on the shelves – perhaps one will catch your eye and please your palate. After all, you can always make room for new favorite beer in your fridge, right?
