Brewing is OFF
No brewing on Monday to give us some much needed “business planning” time. Actually I don’t know why I put that in quotes. It will be literal business planning time. No quotes necessary.
Support for Monday Night from Sweden
Tova and Ida (from Sweden) sent us the following note:
We found IsItMondayNow.com and we LOVE it! Originally our favorite website was erdetfredag.dk (“Is it Friday” in Danish. And yes, we are trilingual). So we started promoting that web page at work, and now all 50 of us check it daily. So our next mission will be to promote IsItMondayNow.com. Thank you for a great site. And we might be coming to Atlanta to try the beer. Just let us know when and where, and we’ll be there.
/Ida & Tove
We’re not quite sure what international love and admiration looks like, but we’re pretty sure this is getting close it to it. Also we read on Wikipedia that Ida and Tove were the most awesome people in Sweden. So take that for what you will.
Monday Night recap: “Workhorse” edition
This special edition of “Monday Night recap” is dedicated to Scott Williams, showing his best side in the above picture. Scott does the work of three Joels combined (which isn’t saying a ton), freeing up the rest of us to do things like drink beer and talk to newcomers. Thanks for hopping, cleaning, popping, and locking.
We brewed a roasty toasty IPA last night ? a little bit of an experiment, and a tweak on a toasty IPA that will be served in coming weeks. There was some Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale on tap, though it went super fast. Which we take as a good sign. We also sold some t-shirts. They’re selling out, folks, so bring a crisp $10 bill next time you come. We also accept other denominations of bills, checks, and trades for web developing services.
OH OBLIGATORY ARTSY SHOT BOO YA. Consider yourself cultured. You’re welcome.
Prime time for brew time
We’re brewing tonight at Jeff’s house. 8pm. Join us. Don’t make us beg.
Final tap handle designs, finally
Well folks, these are them. When we launch, these are the tap handles you should look for at your local bar. And if you don’t see them, you should ask about them. Let us know what you think! Note: Although these look very similar to neckties, they are not to be worn to formal events and should not replace cloth neckties.
Worst birthday ever (no brewing)
Happy birthday, Jeff! In honor of your super special 30th birthday, we vow to NOT brew tonight.
Have fun binging on cake and thinking about how awesome it will be when we brew again. I hope you enjoy your Bud Light cake. It looks like it’s oozing radioactive pus.
Monday Night recap: “T-shirt heaven” edition
We brewed another experimental IPA last night, this one with just a hint of rye malt. Our last experimental IPA had just a hint of kilned coffee malt and turned out pretty delicious. It’s a roasty toasty IPA. Look for that on tap in 2-3 weeks. We are still dry hopping it. Also we are apparently on a “just a hint” kick. I blame Jeff.
Despite the oppressive heat, we had a great time last night. This marked the first Monday that we were selling our new t-shirts. So that was nice. They’re going quick ? we are already out of one size/color combo. Make sure you come soon if you want one! The ginger wheat beer was a huge hit (pictured above in appropriate glassware).
Last, I want to give a shout-out to Joel. He had a baby last week and was still able to come to brewing and not contribute in the same way that he usually doesn’t contribute. It was touching. And not at all helpful. Per usual.
