Windfall?

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

After sending out our invitations to the upcoming MNB bash on St Patrick’s Day, we’ve begun hearing back from loyal fanatics everywhere. We’ve had a number of truly unique RSVP’s and inquiries, including a few that are worthy of posting for your reading pleasure. Below is an e-mail that I received from a [...]

Interview with an organic brewer – via Bearded Brewing

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008

Bearded Brewing has started an interview series with organic brewers. He recently talked with Daniel of Bison Brewing Company, whose fine beers can be purchased at Ted’s Montana Grill, among other places, here in Atlanta. I encourage you to read the entire article, but here’s my favorite question/answer tandom:
What are some things you do at [...]

Godzilla cancels Monday Night!

Monday, February 11th, 2008

Joel’s body was invaded by the dangerous “Godzirra Virus” during his trip to Japan. And Jeff is “on a business trip” or some such ballyhoo. So unfortunately, we will not be brewing tonight.

The business of blogging, part II

Thursday, February 7th, 2008

I just got out of the New Business Summit in Nashville, TN, in which I spoke to (and with) a bunch of crazy marketing people about the why’s and how’s of blogging as a business. I say crazy because there was a banking seminar next door, and we definitely rocked the house.

If I’ve learned nothing [...]

The proverbial “business blog”

Wednesday, February 6th, 2008

Blogs. So hot right now. Blogs.
Joel and I both work in marketing, so we’re pretty close to the internet marketing world, for better or worse. The past few years there’s been a huge push in digital marketing – from corporate blogs to 2nd Life to MySpace. In general I think this has been “for worse.” [...]
