Monday Night featured in Emory News Now broadcast
Student AJ Jenkins reported on homebrewing in America and came by to interview us. I think it was last year. Wow. Looks like we’re a little late in sharing this. Still, listen to it. AJ has an amazing non-American accent.
Ale Sharpton shows us some love
Atlanta-based beer writer Ale Sharpton showed up on Monday and wrote a little diddy about us. My computer is telling me that “diddy” isn’t a word. Well, Mr. Computer, perhaps you should take that up with THIS GUY. You should probably read the whole article, as it is an epic storytelling masterpiece of one man’s massive Monday night, but here’s an excerpt:
After a series of turns and side streets, it’s West Side location turned out to be a backyard with steaming beer vats, a hop vine, an open garage with a custom-made refrigerator specifically to run draft lines through holes drilled in its door and about 30 folks holding Monday Night glasses filled with homebrewed IPAs (the “Rye” and “Toasty”) chatting it up.
Update: Apparently the word is “ditty,” not “diddy.” Thanks, Mr. Computer!
Monday Night quoted in the LA Times on beer label art

- Read the article

MNB featured in today’s Thrillist
I would like to announce that the days of being the relatively unknown underdog are over. We are now famous. This has been our secret goal since the beginning, and since we have fulfilled it, we can finally disband. Just kidding, we’re still starting a brewery. But we DID get a nice little write-up in today’s Thrillist.
Thrillist is a city-based newsletter delivering the newest and freshest stuff. I think of it as a Daily Candy for guys. Don’t ask me how I know what Daily Candy is. I said DON’T ASK! Here’s the text of the write-up if you’re having trouble reading the optimized image above:
After meeting in a Bible study group, the MNB crew committed to the obvious goal: open a brewery by 2010. In the meantime, they blog progress reports, offer helpful home-brewing tips, share stories of technical difficulties, sell logo’d t-shirts & pint glasses, and announce new arrivals like their long-awaited BTU burner and partner Jeff’s new son — future heir to either a sweet family business, or a huge surplus of logo’d t-shirts and pint glasses.
Nice. It sounds like something we would write about ourselves. I think I could get used to this “free press” thing…
