About

The original Furious Monkey

Brewer looking wildly shaggy — The furriest Monkey

In 2019, I was planning to open a small brewery in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. I had brewed under the homebrew name Shyzabrau since my first batches in 1991, but that was not exactly inviting for those that know a bit of German. But what should I call it?

One day Brewer, my Shih tzu/poodle mix and longtime Monkey Boy, jumped into my lap while he was especially overgrown. I looked at him and said, “Brewer, you are the furriest monkey!”

I had accidentally hit the Google microphone button and Google heard “furious monkey.” For a small dog who barked at everything, it was perfect. The brewery finally had its name.
