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 to be drinking an MNB brew on this Thursday evening, the hoppy red wonder that is the Nugget Nectar will more than suffice.
Hope this email finds you enjoying life in the ATL.
Your Friend and Supporter,
Sir William
While Sir William’s claim to royalty is disputed, his ability at spotting blaspemous behavior is not. However, in this case we make an exception. Because we will soon be unveiling a new Monday Night Brewery logo, in which the monk plays no part. If you’d like to get caught up on where we stand with the brand, read this. Otherwise, just know that we’re putting the few finishing touches on the new look and will be sharing it for feedback next week.
Sir William, enjoy your MNB pint glass. It will soon be a collector’s item, worth your weight in gold doubloons.
So this comment is totally off topic for the post, but my curiosity must be appeased. I was looking at your beers and noticed a common theme of high final gravities. What is the reason you shoot for higher gravities? And do you mash at a higher temperature?
