Thursday, November 1st, 2007

Now accepting comments, suggestions, and high praises. Many many thanks to Dave who provided the name for us. The quote for this bad boy comes from Joseph Smith. Yes, THE Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism:
There has been a great difficulty in getting anything into the heads of this generation. It has been like splitting hemlock [...]

Laissez-Faire Barleywine? Yea or Nay?

Help! Does this look like a monk with a mullet?

Thursday, August 16th, 2007

We’re busy designing a label for our peach Belgian, the Southern Monk. Turns out it’s hard to make a silhouette of a monk with a mullet. Can you guys tell what this is? And would you be able to tell if the only other thing you had to go on was the name Southern Monk?
