Full kegs of beer are a beautiful thing

Yesterday we kegged the first production batch of Monday Night ? both the Eye Patch Ale and the Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale. The sight brought tears to my eye. Partly because it was so beautiful to see them all lined up and ready to go, like kindergartners on their first day of school, but mostly because kegging is hard work. My back still hurts…

Look at those guys. Like puppies with their eyes still swollen shut, just searching for their mother’s teat. Okay, I’m going to lay off of that analogy before it gets too graphic. Here’s what the finished product looked like (only with way more kegs):

We’ll be announcing more rollout locations and some super special events early next week, so stay tuned!

Buy the first Monday Night beer ever. At Hop City. On August 8.

MNB_hop-cityWe’re excited. We’re about to launch. So loosen your ties, Atlanta.

If you want to be among the first to purchase some Monday Night beer, you’ll need to show up at Hop City on Monday, August 8 at 5:30pm. Hop City will be selling growlers of our Eye Patch Ale and Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale until they run out of beer and/or growlers. We’ll be on hand to answer questions about the beer, give unsolicited advice on your wardrobe, give creepy back massages, etc.

Why Hop City? They’ve been a great supporter of ours since day 1. We’ve bought supplies from them for brewing test batches. They’ve provided input on our test batches to make the beers even better. Plus, growlers! We aren’t bottling beer yet, but this will allow you to take some home to enjoy.

We suggest you don’t tell anyone else about this so there will be more beer for you. We’ll see you there!

Ever heard of Facebook?

Apparently we hadn’t. Until yesterday. We’ll be interacting more on Facebook in coming months, after creating our very own account yesterday. If you’re into poking and thumbs upping and Farmville, check us out!

But seriously, we need 25 fans to get a vanity URL. And we want a vanity URL like it’s our job.

UPDATE: Thanks to Chris, lucky #25, you can now find us here: http://www.facebook.com/mondaynight ? how’s THAT for an immediate ROI on social media? Well… at least an immediate ROI on being a URL dork.
