The name came about when 2 clubs merged. There was a Fort Worth based club that was called the Cowtown Cappers and a Mid Cities club called the NET Hoppers. The Cowtown Cappers logo was a bottle cap with two horseshoes to form a CC. The NET Hoppers logo was a rabbit sitting on top of a glass of foamy beer. When we merged we took the "Cap" from the cappers and the "Hare" from the hoppers/rabbit in the logo to make the name "The Cap & Hare". Our new logo for the merged club is the Rabbit from the original NET Hoppers logo flipping the original Cowtown Cappers "Cap" logo.
Since we are on the subject of names.... This might be one for the Technical Library.
What makes a Porter a Porter, a Stout a Stout, a Pilsner a Pilsner, etc? They look and taste noticeably different with in the style so I don't know why those difference still allow a given beer to be in one style and not the other.

the wiki i found on this (with all assumptions inherent to a 'wiki') was damn interesting in explaining the history of porter/stout. i'd google it and post, but my motel wireless leaves a bit to be desired.
I found a couple books on the specific topic of what makes something a style that I plan to order them when I get back from vacation. That is unless I remember that I don't like to read books because I'm actually a periodicals librarian not a book librarian. But sometimes I cheat. Also, I found this web address: http://www.tastings.com/beer/beer_styles.html
