Do us a solid and take this survey

Caveat: Atlanta people only. Otherwise you will find yourself extremely lost about 3 questions in. It should only take about 3 minutes and we would love you forever*. Please send any other Atlanta people you know to this survey as well. Thanks a ton!
UPDATE: great response and we maxed out the survey! Thanks everyone. [...]

Just a quick note to say that we are brewing tonight

You: “But I don’t know what to do with this information!”
Us: “It’s pretty simple. Come brew with us.”
You: “But I only like crappy beer.”
Us: [pause] “Never mind.”
We’ll be brewing up another batch of our Eye Patch Ale this week, with some slight variations to the flavoring hops. Jeff has also decried that we must boil [...]

Saturday we ran a blind taste test of our IPA against [...]

“You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline – it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.”
(Compliments of “Peter”)

How to call yourself a guru without being a tool

Apparently it can’t be done. Thus the current uproar surrounding my title:
Marketing Guy and “Outside-the-box” Guru
I meant this to be purely tongue-in-cheek. Jeff’s title, “CEO Guy and Supreme Beer Chancellor,” is wacky enough that people don’t think he’s serious. Same with Joel’s “Operations Guy and Taste-testing Ninja.” But some people (including my brother) don’t get [...]
