Presenting: All For Love Wedding Wit
I just got married. Obviously, our first dance song was Bryan Adams’ “All For Love,” performed live by Jeff and Joel. If we can get video of it, you will see it. But in the meantime, I thought I should share a wedding beer label we worked up for the occasion.
Bryan Adams, eat your heart out.
Bryan Adams signs a baby at Walmart
You read that correctly. This was a few years ago, but anyone with a baby should probably start driving to random Walmarts NOW to get in on the action.
Bryan Adams KILLS IT at the Winter Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Let there be NO DOUBT. Bryan Adams, Patron Saint of Monday Night Brewing, totally rocked Vancouver’s face off last night.
And as Tony Simon astutely pointed out, Bryan was dressed exactly like our logo. Black suit, black tie, tie loose as a goose. Coincidence? Absolutely not.
So many emotions
Such a simultaneously sad and happy day in my Bryan Adams world.
Happy: I just bought the new Bryan Adams album for $5 at WalMart. I’m listening to it right now. Pure gold. “I need to breathe you in, over and over again, like oxygen.” Yeah. That just happened.
Sad: $5? Really? Bryan, you’re worth more than that. For serious.
Bryan Adams: The face of Monday Night
I just installed the latest version of iPhoto on my Mac and there’s a new feature called “Faces.” This facial recognition software tries to guess who is in your pictures and actually does a pretty good job, from my brief experience. I was playing around trying to teach it and it picked up on an extra face in the following photo.
That’s right. Bryan. Adams. I immediately added his name into the system. Thank you, iPhoto, for recognizing the face of Monday Night Brewery. In other Bryan Adams news, did anyone know that we was a pretty good photographer? Anyone?
A tale that needs telling
This weekend Jeff was at Phipps Mall (I don’t know why… you’ll have to bring that up with him) and noticed a harp player playing “Everything I Do” by the patron saint of Monday Night Brewery, Bryan Adams. A harp player. Bryan. Adams. Why is this significant? It’s not, really. But it’s something you need to know.
In more news that you need to know, we are brewing our stout tonight at Jeff’s house. It’s been a few weeks since we’ve actually brewed, so we’re looking forward to getting back to it. Hope to see some of you at 8pm tonight. Be aware that there is a 40% 20% chance of precipitation, but we will be brewing regardless.
We should also have our long-awaited double IPA on tap. It probably won’t last too long because, as Joel says,
“It puts the ‘ish’ in delishous.”
Kid Rock has a new beer. Is there room for Bryan Adams up there?
Lew Bryson posted a great little article about Kid Rock’s new beer. Wait, what? Yes, Kid Rock, the king of class, now has his own beer brand, which has been billed as a “premium domestic beer.” From Bryson’s analysis (his analysis in parentheses):
Kenny said, “Drinks will come to market rapidly with Kid Rock’s beer. We are in the process of interviewing breweries now (So, Mister…Brewery, where do you see yourself with Kid Rock’s Beer in five years?) and working with Kid Rock to make sure that every aspect of the beer and the marketing support is as exciting as everything else Kid Rock does (Everything? Got any video of him sorting his socks?). We think that by very early spring we will have a compelling product and that consumers will love the look, taste, and branding that Kid Rock creates (wait, he’s creating the taste, too? How is it with grits sandwiches?).
So this is great news. For Bryan Adams. If Kid Rock can do this without a brewery, Bryan Adams can do this WITH a brewery. Granted, we’re not a “brewery” in the sense that we “make and sell beer,” but we will be one day soon. And I would like to formally invite our patron saint, Bryan Adams, to contact us if he is interested in brewing his own beer.
We are now accepting names for the Bryan Adams brew.
