MNB rocks Ignite ATL
Our presentation at the inaugural Ignite ATL event has finally been posted to YouTube. If you haven’t gotten a chance to see it, check out our 5 minutes of glory.
“I swoop down like a vulture on a Michelob Ultra”
Warning: mild language in video. This is Joel “The Pink Mojito” Iverson’s anthem.
Worthy of a full posting
Frequent commenter “John A” shot this riveting video of brewing on Monday, which he posted in the comments earlier. It’s important for me to share it with you because Joel hasn’t finished the post he was supposed to write for today.
Have a safe and happy 4th of July!
And don’t do anything that these guys would do. Seriously.
Beer Tap TV names Monday Night Brewery “beer blog of the week”
I don’t know what they’re smoking drinking, but Beer Tap TV named Monday Night Brewery the beer blog of the week. Hey, we’ll take it. I queued up the video of the show to the part where they start talking about us (around 31:30 in, if you’re curious). There is also a dog that runs into the frame, thus proving a point I’ve been trying to make for years, that dogs enjoy weeknights more than weekends.
Thanks for the love, guys!
Alabama legislature on beer
Sean from Fullsteam left this as a comment, but it’s too good not to post. First, I have no way of verifying this (and believe me, I tried). But this is allegedly the audio from Alabama Representative Alvin Holmes (D) arguing against the beer law last year.
Enjoy.
Bryan Adams rocks our world
Sunday night was monumental for team MNB. As you all know we have a long running affinity toward both Bryan as a person and to his fantastic music (as you’ll notice on the side nav have have 15 posts dedicated to him). On Sunday we had the privilege of seeing him live at the new Verizon amphitheatre.
Several months ago I purchased 6 tickets (for the whopping price of $9.85 each) and the plan was for Jeff, and I to go with our respective wives and to use it as a chance to find a date for Jonathan. I even planned to get submissions on the blog from eligible bachelorettes (and what quality girl wouldn’t want a free date to Bryan Adams). Unfortunately Jonathan’s health problems foiled that plan but through our text messages, phone calls, and e-mails we tried to make him feel right at home.
Our goal for the evening (in addition to making out to “Let’s make a night to remember”) was to get a chance to talk to Bryan Adams, invite him to MNB, and give him an MNB t-shirt. Unfortunately we failed on all fronts. I did manage to make it to the mosh pit up front (and by “mosh pit” I mean swooning 40 year olds and their obedient husbands who stood by with their drinks in hand). I actually almost touched his foot (as evidenced by the crotch pic below.
The concert ended (or the good part at least…Foreigner was the 2nd band…totally nowhere near as cool as BA) and despite the security guards saying their was no way to see Bryan, Jeff and I would not give up. We proceeded around to the back entrance where the tour buses are located and the video below best recounts the interaction between the security guard and ourselves.
Note from Jonathan: Amazing. As you’ll notice, Joel chickens out towards the end. I think if I was there I would have been able to sneak past that guard while Jeff was keeping her occupied.
