Monday Night Brewing | Bringing great craft beer to Atlanta, Georgia

Win tickets to the East Atlanta Beer Fest

Jonathan — Tue, 08 May 2012 17:46:46 +0000

I know what you’re thinking. “WHAT?! But the East Atlanta Beer Fest is the coolest fest around! How could I ever be cool enough to attend?” Fortunately, they only check your ID at the entrance for age, not coolness.

Next Monday, May 14, we’ll be hiding our MondayNightMobile at one of our favorite spots around town. The first person to find it and send us a picture of themselves in front of the car (either on our Facebook or Twitter) will win 2 free tickets to the East Atlanta Beer Fest on May 19.

We’ll be tweeting clues periodically, starting at 4pm. Who’s ready?

High praise from a true Scotsman

We like it when people go out of their way to tell us how awesome we are. Dave O. sent us this email on Friday:

Guys, I bought a growler of Drafty Kilt at The Best of Brews on Thursday evening and I am going to have to get back tomorrow and get another. That is a great beer, and as a Scotsman who has only been over here for a few years, I feel particularly qualified to judge a scotch ale! And as a Scotsman who has worn a kilt many times, a drafty kilt is not normally a great experience. Keep up the good work guys, that’s an awesome ale.

Thanks Dave. You have quite the way with words.

An exclusive, limited edition collaboration shirt with one-of-kind artwork
Chocolate bark from Cacao
Complimentary beer from Monday Night Brewing
Food available for purchase from the Yumbii food truck

Our next beer will be called…

Fu Manbrew! Congratulations to Philip M for submitting the winning name! Fu Manbrew won with 42% of the total vote. Handlebar was a close second with 37% of the vote. And apparently only a minority of you guys wanted to order a Walrus at the bar. Thanks to everyone who voted, contributed, and shared. This was a lot of fun. But it’s not quite over! One of the challenges of the Fu Man Brew name is making the graphic look good on our labels. We’ve got three potential options, and we’d love it if you voted on your favorite. Vote in the poll below.

Note: There is a poll embedded within this post, please visit the site to participate in this post's poll.

Now begins the process of ordering tap handles, getting label approval, and trademarking names. It’s a fun process (not really). We’re hoping to get everything buttoned up, including one final test batch, in the next 2 months, so we’ll see how quickly we can launch this new mustachio’d beer!

Thanks to Philip M. for all of his creativity, and thanks to Scoutmob for indulging us in this new experiment in crowdsourcing our beer name. I’m pretty sure we shattered Scoutmob’s record for Facebook comments.

Monday Night crowdsourced beer naming contest in the final round!

We’re partnering with mustache-lovers Scoutmob to crowdsource the name our next beer, a Belgian wit brewed with a hint of ginger. With over 100 name entries from you guys, it was tough narrowing it down to our favorites. But after a few beers, we were able to struggle through it. The finalists?

Walrus Wit (submitted by Larry S.)

Vote on Scoutmob’s Facebook page! The winner will be determined entirely by your votes, but you’ve only got a few days. We’ll be shutting it down Monday night (March 26) at midnight. If you aren’t on Facebook, we officially apologize to you. Or we would, if we could figure out how to message you on Facebook. Hopefully you have some Facebook-addicted friends you can talk into casting your vote for you.

Help name our next beer!

We’ve teamed up with Scoutmob to name our next beer, a 4.5% Belgian wit brewed with just a hint of ginger. If you’d like to submit a name idea, please follow the link and DO IT! We’ll be choosing a round of finalists, based on our proprietary set of internal criteria, which we will share openly with you here:

Must be mustache-themed
Must be awesome
Must not be the name of another beer

That’s pretty much it. In exchange for your brilliance, the winner will receive… well, you’ll have to click through the link to find out.
