Any interest in a fantasy football league?

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

As stewards of the Monday Night name, I feel it our duty to organize the first ever Beer Blogger Fantasy Football League. If you’re interested in getting trounced by yours truly, let me know. When we have enough interest I’ll go ahead and start up a league for us.
The NFL, a long-time bastion of terrible […]

I taste the Fat Tire and I find it good.

Tuesday, July 31st, 2007

I’ve been hearing these Colorado snobs rant about their New Belgium Brewery for far too long. They seem particularly adamant about a certain “Fat Tire” beer. A few friends (thanks Phil and Kristen!) vacationed to Colorado, toured the brewery, and brought a whole mess of beers back.
It was heaven. I won’t go into much detail […]

Saturday morning brew session!

Sunday, July 29th, 2007

Every once in awhile Joel will have a brilliant idea. This weekend, he totally challenged what Monday Night Brewery is all about: brewing beer on Monday nights. In true paradigm-shifting outside-of-the-box thinking, he proposed, “Why not Saturday mornings?”
Why not, indeed. Joel and I and a couple other folks (including The Goche, who was celebrating his […]

The Goche tastes beer for the first time. The Goche does not like it.

Saturday, July 28th, 2007

But I can’t blame him… I didn’t like it at first either. I just pretended to like it so my friends wouldn’t call me weak. My roommate, affectionately called “The Goche,” celebrated his 21st birthday last night at midnight by cracking open a bottle of Lumberjack Stout.
That’s right. His first beer ever was a Monday […]

Georgia hates microbreweries

Friday, July 27th, 2007

Our neighborhood restaurant (and by that I don’t mean Applebee’s) is incredible. It’s called the Treehouse and it’s a converted house with a huge deck, great food, and g eat beer.
In a recent visit there I was quite disappointed to find that nearly all (3 out of the 4) beers they carried on tap […]

“Please pardon our progress”

Wednesday, July 25th, 2007

I hate that phrase. No one’s going to think more of you because you call it “progress” instead of “mess.” Nonetheless, we’re making progress. Specifically on an email newsletter (perhaps to be sent out today, so sign up soon!) and a complete site overhaul.

Joel gets weird about our website, so that one might take a […]

Last night

Tuesday, July 24th, 2007

We brewed beer last night! It was awesome. Here’s the lowdown:
Southern Monk: We brewed the first batch (and hopefully not the last batch) of our peach Belgian beer, the Southern Monk. All went well, even after Joel peed in the wort.
Weissguy Hefeweizen: One week into fermentation, we transferred into kegs. We’re going to let this […]
