Will there be a fungible exclamation point involved in this?

I don't like the name, but whatever, I'm sure the beer will be good to incredible.
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

Beer, not just for breakfast anymore.
I'm sure the brews will be incredibly popular even as 'Godspeed', there are far less auspicious brewery names.MatttthewGeorge wrote:I don't like the name, but whatever, I'm sure the beer will be good to incredible.
I mean take Alesmith, what the heck is 'mith' anyway? But you know they make ales.

As a traveller, I like the idea of Godspeed being the name of a brewery.
Had to google Godspeed You! Black Emperor, interesting, not my style, but interesting....haha.

Are you serious? How do you not understand their name? I can't believe I have to explain this to you. Mith (or sometimes "myth") just means something legendary and mysterious. As in their ales are mithical.

A 'smith' is generally associated with a trade or craftsmen i.e. Blacksmith, Goldsmith, Locksmith, Gunsmith, Bladesmith, etc.
I have also assumed that AleSmith was a play on these words. i.e. someone who crafts beer. Hence the Blacksmith anvil in the logo.

I'm pretty sure Godspeed is a contraction of 'God has peed.' This is taken from the expression: "This beer is so bloody good, it tastes as if God has peed in the bottle!" As a big fan of divine urination, i like the name.

I just assumed that you'd know Belgian wasn't being serious. Or… maybe now I'm just saying that? You may never know!TheSevenDuffs wrote:I just assumed that Belgian wasn't being serious.
