Well, initially we'll be offering a slightly cloudy cider at 5% made from Cornish grown apples, a mix of dessert & cider apples. Its on the dry side of medium. No additives. John has suggested Holy Water

dd I like the association with blacksmithing, but I think forge cider already exists. (I like Iron Brew). So far the only other suggestion was rubberlegs scrumpy

I like Rubberlegs Scrumpy as in "pint of rubber legs landlord " has a good ring about it reducing to the still orderable "pint o wubberlegs" after 6 pints

Could you make an anagram out of initials or use a play on words, the name doesnt have to mean a rhing except be personal to you for example i called my jerky business wild dutch, it has caused no end of questiins but the simple truth is my surname is savage ana my wife was holland..... Savage holland = wild dutch

"placename" cider is good branding and the type ,and name of brew can go in the small print

rubberlegs,crooked cock etc are usually used on inferior products for emmets

with a brand name that is simple and traditional (such as by place or owners name)will appeal to your target market and makes it easier to add new lines with "brand" "but new"

descriptive names for each product can be more inventive but simple seems to work best for brand name in food/drink products

I agree with dpack choose a brand name first then have a name for each different type it leaves you open to do things like pear cider at a later point or even mead. each with a novelty name and description but people can ask for a bottle of ****** and then be asked which type.
