A New Week, Another Monday

Monday, April 30th, 2007

I realized over the weekend that we don’t always clue in our web readers to what we actually will be doing any given Monday. Of all days to post this should be the most important. So…I’m thinking I’ll do a basic format as follows:
Brewing (starting this week)- 10 gal. batch of the Weiss […]

The Soggy Bottom Bog Monster

Friday, April 27th, 2007

So it doesn’t actually have a soggy bottom (it’s really a very clear beer) but for some reason I think of the Soggy Bottom Boys from “O Brother Where Art Thou” whenever I think of the Bog Monster. But I digress, so I cracked my 2nd Bog Monster last night. We cracked the […]

Party Planning

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

Over the past few days, we at MNB have been discussing the much-anticipated Brewhaha. We have a preliminary schedule and a basic plan for the party. We’ll be brewing 10-gallon batches over the next few months, so expect the chance to sample 4-6 of MNB’s best brews and give us your honest feedback […]

Thursday, April 26th, 2007

The MNB gang has been circulating beer books for awhile as a form of general knowledge building. Beer School (Hindy/Potter) has recently been passed on to m by our pal Joel. This book chronicles the rise of the Brooklyn Brewery.

Oh wait. It’s exactly like that. Nonetheless, we will still be […]

32 kegs of beer in the van, 32 kegs of beer…

Tuesday, April 24th, 2007

If anyone was wondering what 32 free kegs looked like, here’s a pic. Yep. That’s right. Monday Night Brewery is now the proud father of 32 wee ones, compliments of Joel’s uncle. Joel picked up these bad boys Friday in Birmingham (the Big Salty Ham, as we say in the business).
We used the first of […]

Marriage + Beer = Ball and Chain Stout

Saturday, April 21st, 2007

In recent weeks my fiance and I have struggled over what to give our guests as favors for the reception. There are the usual, boring little items, but who really wants any of that. We wanted to give something any decent person can appreciate. And then, over lunch with Jon and Joel, it hit us. […]
