Thales Pale Ale?

Since I'm going to be brewing with an electric system I figured I should learn a bit more on the subject. There are lots of interesting people related to the history of electricity, including guys like Pliny the Elder, Benjamin Franklin, Michael Faraday, Malcom and Angus Young, and so on. But the one who caught my eye the most was Thales of Miletus. Born in 624BC, Thales was a 7th century thinker like Cicero and Aristotle, he was a business man, a scholar, and (Read more here if you actually want to know).

Most relevant to an electric brewery, however, is two key points: 1) Thales was the earliest know researcher into electricity. 2) Thales hypothesized about the nature of matter –  that all of the world's objects are composed of a single element substance: water (aka, everything is created from water).

To me, this was very intriguing. Our brewery, if nothing else, is two things: Its electric; and, it turns water into beer.  We considered (very heavily) naming our brewery Thales Ales, but, we feel that the concept may be a bit too obscure of a reference, and sort of hard to remember. With certainty, however, Thales Ales will be worked into the brewery in some degree; perhaps Thales Pale Ale?

Here is a statue of Thales at Union Station in Washington D.C. (notice the electric bolts in his arms)
