What's in a name?
Naming our beers was one of the trickier tasks we came up against when designing our branding. There are so many craft beer legends out there with super creative, clever and witty names. After thinking long and hard and after lots of puns and plays on words (mostly from co-founder John) we realised that we may have been trying to be something we’re not.
Now that’s not to say we aren’t creative, clever or witty…we just forgot that starting the Copper Beech Brewing company was a very personal journey. Each beer has been brewed from the heart with a memory attached and we didn’t want to keep it all to ourselves so we thought what better way to share them with you? Read on to find out how your beer got its name.
Chance Encounters
The Brewery turned 5 years old in January 2026. To mark this incredible milestone we created 5 birthday beers! Each beer is a collaboration with some of the most integral people in the Copper Beech journey, right from its inception to where we are now.
Those who know, know that the Chester Tavern is arguably the best pub in Kidderminster - it’s certainly our favourite. Not only for the warm and cosy vibes, exceptional drinks selection and friendly faces but for the man at the heart of it all. Andy started as a customer, became a huge supporter and now a dear friend. We couldn’t think of anyone finer for our 5th and final Birthday beer Collaboration!
