The perfect gift? A bottle opener neck tie
That special someone in your life has been missing something, lately. He may not know it. But he soon will.
How often have you wanted to open a bottle of beer with your tie? If you’re anything like me, probably not very often. But only because I never knew it was possible. We found an artisan who makes bottle opener neck ties using recycled bottle openers. No two are alike, but you can rest assured that you will be able to open a bottle while staying well dressed, no matter what.
$30 + shipping and any applicable taxes. Order soon if you want it to arrive in time for Christmas!
Wear a Shirt, Get a Glass – at Decatur Beer Fest
Decatur Beer Fest is this Saturday. We’re stoked. So stoked, in fact, that we’re going to give away a free Monday Night pint glass to anyone who wears their Monday Night shirt to the festival and swings by our booth to prove it.
It’s really a win/win. Look as smooth and cool as this guy*:
And get a free pint glass!
*Yes, that is a picture of me. And yes, I do work out 24/7.
International fame! Wait… Zanzibar is a real place?
Zanzibar is apparently a real place. Just ask our own Weekday Warrior, Ryan, last seen hanging out in a trendy Monday Night tee in Zanzibar.
Buy your own tee here, and wear it all over the world*.
*Passport required.
Don’t get your hopes up
We realize we’re continuing in a rather long streak of non-brewing at the moment, but we have to keep the saints of Monday Night (wives and future wives) happy on this Day of Valentines. So to tide you over, we’ve revised our metal sign design based on your feedback.
“Weekends are overrated” at the top, added a website, moved “Atlanta” to the bottom. Let us know what you think!
Metal beer signs and the coming apocalypse
Metal beer signs. They are in bars everywhere. One would assume that they are actually a decent marketing tactic, given their prevalence. However, I have a hard time rationalizing the ROI myself. Have I ever bought a beer because I saw a sign up? I don’t think so. Have you?
The only thing I can figure is that it’s a good relationship building tactic for a brewery (or distributor) and the bar or restaurant receiving the free sign. And it obviously can’t harm your brand. Unless your metal sign is covered in STDs. Or explodes metal shards into someone’s face. Or causes the apocalypse. In these rare cases, a metal sign might hard your brand.
Regardless, there’s a pretty good possibility that we will need metal beer signs at some point. And with that in mind, we thought we’d start thinking about them. We’d like to start pretty basic before adding the razzle dazzle (lasers, smoke machines, 3D motorized pirates). So here’s a rectangular mockup of what a metal sign might look like.
This is a first pass, so we’d love any and all comments from you, our faithful reader. Thoughts?
A gross error in our order fulfillment strategy
One Micah Kemp has alerted us of a problem with our fulfillment of orders in our new online store. Specifically, Micah says (via Twitter):
We apologize for our lapse and would like to assure you that we are doing everything in our power to delay all shipments until the next Monday night arrives, whenever that may be. I am just glad (for Micah’s sake) that his package didn’t arrive on a Saturday.
A non-Monday weekday is bad enough. But a weekend? Dear God, help us all.
Buy stuff from us on the internet
Astute readers will notice a small change to our navigation bar. Something we have titled “Store.” If you click on it, you’ll see this:
And in this store is where you will be able to purchase pretty much the most Monday-riffic t-shirts and pint glasses at ridiculously low prices. $10 for the highest quality American Apparel t-shirts we could find, and $12 for a set of 4 glasses. Suggestion: Christmas presents. All of them. Order soon, because Joel is in charge of shipping.
