Greetings from afar

Greetings from afar

Today I opened my mailbox to a note from a Monday Night Brewery faithful in Washington, D.C.:
3 J’s:
I have attached what I consider to be Monday Night Brewery Pint Glass Pornography. This is not safe for work!
What you see is an MNB Pint Glass fully supplied with Troegs’ Nugget Nectar Imperial Amber. While I’d love [...]

I would like to announce that the days of being the relatively unknown underdog are over. We are now famous. This has been our secret goal since the beginning, and since we have fulfilled it, we can finally disband. Just kidding, we’re still starting a brewery. But we DID get a nice little write-up in [...]

Beer wars: Travis gets a new website. It sucks.

Beer wars: Travis gets a new website. It sucks.

A little while ago our mortal enemy Travis got himself a brand new website. I know what you’re thinking: But isn’t that like putting lip stick on a dead possum? Yes. A dead possum that can’t brew a decent beer.

Our new burner arrives, just in time for our brewing hiatus

Our new burner arrives, just in time for our brewing hiatus

Guess what came in the mail this weekend? The 210K BTU burner we ordered last February! Yes, you heard correct, last February.

And we can’t wait [...]

It used to take us 6.5-7 hours to brew a 10 gallon all-grain batch, including cleanup, kegging/bottling and any transferring. Now we can do the same amount of work in 4.5-5 hours. And that includes moving [...]

Brewing recap:

Brewing recap: “Stuck like a truck, truck, truck” edition

Last night marked the last Monday we’ll be brewing for at least a month. Little baby Teddy should be popping out soon, so we’re taking a maternity leave of sorts. Nonetheless, last night was a great time. We had a lot of new people. We had a fire. We had snow. We used hot water [...]

Brewing on the early side tonight

Brewing on the early side tonight

We’ll be brewing a little earlier than normal this evening, so it would behoove you to stop by anytime after 7pm, as we’ll likely be shutting down around 10pm.  Tonight we’re brewing up another batch of our crowd-pleasing Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale. We should have stout, IPA and Drafty Kilt on tap as well. And [...]
