Best. Dream. Ever.
A friend of mine (Summer) just sent me a dandy surprise email. Apparently she has been having some pretty vivid dreams lately, and one of these dreams is about MNB. I think she’s a prophet. I present to you the twisted mind of Summer with minimal edits:
for some reason, i was in atlanta and was at intown church (but not really intown - you know how that works) on sunday morning for worship. i picked up a worship guide at the door and took a seat. as the music started i was utterly confused to find buster bluth leading worship with none other than the men of monday night brewery. puzzled, but playing along, i sang “lord, i lift your name on high” with you guys.
the next song was one i wasn’t familiar with, so i opened my worship guide to follow along. at that moment, i realized we weren’t really singing about jesus anymore. we were singing about beer. your (again, your) beer to be exact. in fact, as i flipped through the worship bulletin, i realized that all the songs were about your beer, each new song featuring another brew. again, i reiterate that these were not the actual products of mnb, only poor substitutes created by my subconscious. but each beer/song had a full-page design in the bulletin, and each song was a of a different genre that somehow captured the essence of each beer. literally, the entirely liturgy was about beer. i didn’t stay in dream land for the whole service - i think i only heard about 3 or 4 of your fine offerings. and while i’m not sure that jesus’ name was ever mentioned, i think he was pleased, or at least amused.

Sounds like you’ve got some wierd religious friends, Baker. I’ve also heard that Buster, aka Tony Hale, also attends a presbyterian church in L.A. Why can’t these church people stick to being boring bible-thumping hate-mongers, like they’re supposed to be?

I had a beer dream once too. It was right before I brewed my first batch. A buddy of mine had been telling me that basically the best way guarantee a good ferment every time was to make a yeast starter. So I had been obsessing about yeast starters for a few weeks. In the dream, I made my starter in an Erlenmeyer flask. The yeasty beasties looked like cartoon characters from a Casper the Friendly Ghost cartoon. I was imploring them to stay in the flask until I could pitch them. They were also wearing hoodies, which were also made from beer yeast. Weird.
