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.

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.

On Saturday 10th January 2026, we opened the doors to members of our core community who’ve supported us since the beginning. Among them were some of our original beer testers, our very first web-shop customers, and people who have backed us most consistently from the start. While there have been so many supporters over the years, we wanted to extend a special thanks to John, Adam, Liz, Paul, Matt, Sarah, David, Helen, Tony and Carl. This beer was brewed with all of them at heart, and with those who could make it at the helm!
