No brewing tonight. Beer yourself.
Jonathan is prancing about the Caribbean and we are lost without him. Hang in there, people. Beer yourselves for us until we can be together again…
Tap handles arrive!
I arrived home yesterday to 8 boxes of the final production MNB tap handles. From all I can tell these things look even better than the pre-production versions and can’t wait to get these out into the wild. What bar is NOT going to want one of these behind the counter is really the question.
From here they’ll join the thousands of MNB pint glasses sitting in my basement eagerly awaiting the launch…
No Brewing Tonight
With Jonathan heading out to the Great American Beer Festival we won’t be doing any brewing tonight. Jeff and I are just not able to brew ourselves without Jonathan’s strange music and inappropriate comments for inspiration.
If you’re going to be at GABF be sure to reach out to him, tweet him, re-tweet him or whatever.

NO BREWING – BALLS DROPPED
Ok, that came out wrong. But here’s the bottom line. Joel is on a plane to…uh…Joel, where are you going? And Jonathan is in Italy. Which means no brewing. Folks, we dropped the ball. It won’t happen again.
Monday Night recap: the “postpartum” edition
As you may have read previously Jeff’s new child limited our ability to brew the last few weeks but thankfully we’re now officially back in the swing of things and into the postpartum days. I know you might be thinking about postpartum depression but actually it’s more like postpartum elation (for all of us…but especially for Jeff’s wife because she’s allowed to drink beer again).
Since Jonathan was gone (he allegedly had a date to the Patty Griffin concert) we made due and recruited my younger brother (in town for the week) to help us. It turns out he was just as good at all brewing related tasks as Jonathan with the only differences being:
- He didn’t post a new tweet ever 5 minutes
- He has better taste in music (we didn’t have to suffer through some random/terrible band from Jonathan’s music library)
- He didn’t make any offensive/inappropriate comments to our wonderful patrons
Oh, and the wort didn’t boil over like it does when Jonathan watches it. Wow.
Also, we brewed a pale ale…come back in 4 weeks to find out how it turns out.
Baby-induced brewing hiatus continues
We won’t be brewing tonight to give Jeff and Hannah a chance to train their new baby in the ways of milling grain and cleaning kegs. We’re hoping to be able to fire up the burners again in the next week or two, so stay tuned!
Atlanta Cuisine reviews everything but our launch beers
In late March Tom Maicon from Atlanta Cuisine came by to try some of our beers. (I know… it’s May. I forgot.). Unfortunately at the time he came we had pretty much everything on tap except our two launch beers, Eye Patch Ale and Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale. Still, if you’d like to read some objective reviews of beers that we are still tweaking, have at it!
