NYC gets lucky

Friday, April 25th, 2008

 Wonder of wonders, Joel tipped us off to a great new site yesterday: BeerMenus.com. This site scours NYC bars to find out where the best beers are served. The two founders, Will and Eric, are huge fans of Stone Arrogant Bastard and Dogfish Head 90 Minute. Which definitely gives me confidence in their craft beer […]

Back on track and brewing again

Monday, April 21st, 2008

It’s Monday.
Normally we brew Mondays.
Sometimes we forget yeast.
But tonight, we are ready to go. We’ll be trying to tweak our Swashchuckler IPA a bit based on feedback from the Brewhaha and our ongoing beer battle with Sir Travis McStupidhead. Unfortunately we won’t have much to drink given that our last 2 batches got a bit […]

Results are (slowly) trickling in

Friday, April 11th, 2008

And surprise of surprises, Canada responds first!
Alan confirmed our victory over Travis and his swill. We’re still waiting on our American judges to weigh in before calling it, but things are looking good for Monday Night Brewery in the feud department.
Travis, we could use a cleaning boy if you’re interested. It’s an unpaid internship, but […]

MNB vs. CNYBrew: the video

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

A Beer War has been a-brewing. Travis and his shady CNYBrew gang threw down the gauntlet and then promptly picked it up again, admitting defeat in the face of our superior brewing prowess.
We’re still waiting on tasting results from Alan up in Canada, Brad out in California and Ted in Chicago, but we thought we’d […]

The Unibomber delivers a package

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

Our Syracusian Scoundrel Travis came through. I received in the mail today what appears to be a shoddily packaged bottle of beer. I’m guessing it’s his “IPA,” which is going head-to-head with our own IPA on blogs across the country. Nay, the WORLD! Look for a trouncing in the near future as we test his […]

No more tickle fights

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Many of you know Travis and his juvenile antics. Peddling us as rednecks and Civil War impersonators. He’s pawned himself off as some sort of investigatory journalist, to which I have one reply (via Zoolander):
Do you understand that the world does not revolve around you and your do whatever it takes, ruin as many people’s […]

YAAAARGH!! (A treatise on taking a party seriously)

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Most of the guests at our Brewhaha Saturday came in casual clothes. Which is fine. But let’s not forget that the invitation SPECIFICALLY said “full-on pirate garb.” Fortunately, not everyone chose to ignore our invitation.

Thanks to Dick, who not only came to the party, but documented himself in what appears to be “full-on pirate garb.” […]
