Grammar
Apostrophe
When and when not.. apostrophes
I have named a company "Misfit's Brewing Co" for a recently formed business. I used an apostrophe in Misfit's - implying that Brewing Co belonged to 'Misfits'. A friend has suggested that because 'Misfits' is plural, it should read "Misfits' Brewing Co".
What I have recently read for plural words is that of removing an apostrophe i.e. "Misfits Brewing Co"
Any help would be great!

Yes, it should be Misfits' However, note that such apostrophes are commonly dropped from such names in modern English, to make the name seem less fussy. Think of it this way. After a couple of beers, most people don't care about grammar details!
