I hereby declare it “Beer Haiku Friday”!

Friday, May 9th, 2008

Not to hedge in on Beer Haiku Daily’s territory, of course… But let’s make this Friday one for the haiku record books. I’ll kick it off:
the slowest of weeks
calls for the help of a friend
a friend named good beer
Anyone else got a haiku in that bag of tricks?

Those Britons and their inflatables…

Wednesday, May 7th, 2008

What about this idea? An inflatable pub. Because pubs are so cool that sometimes you want to take one to a vacant field and just go to town. Is that what passes for cool across the pond, Stonch?

Dog beer: cruel prank or interesting idea?

Thursday, April 24th, 2008

I ran across this site yesterday, which sells (or used to, anyway) beer for dogs. Happy Tail Ale, anyone?

Mondays just got a little bigger

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

“Exactly how I planned”

Friday, April 4th, 2008

Such is Jeff’s new favorite quote. We’re debating legally changing his name to Jeff “Money” Heck because of how amazing his attenuation planning skills are. You see, Jeff has developed an uncanny ability to call the original gravity, final gravity – even a fluctuating reading mid-fermentation – on the NOSE. The only stipulation he has […]

How you know you’ve arrived

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

There’s a long list of things we keep checking to see if we’ve arrived as a viable business. At the top of the list? Acronyms. Specifically, is MNB a legitimate acronym, recognized by the acronym people?
It is with much pride that I can now say we have arrived. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, thanks to Matt’s […]

The music in heaven

Monday, March 31st, 2008

If you’re curious about what the music will be like in heaven, most biblical scholars maintain that the majority of the music will be duets between Pavarotti and Bryan Adams. Much like this one:

Wow. THAT. JUST. HAPPENED. Many thanks to Neil for spending hours digging up this interweb gem.
Come by Jeff’s tonight – we’re brewing […]
