Monday Night Brewing

In 2006, founders Jonathan Baker, Jeff Heck, and Joel Iverson met in a Bible study group through Atlanta Westside Presbyterian Church. They began hanging out and brewing beer in Heck's garage on Monday nights,[1] and started putting together a business plan to open their own brewery.[2] In 2011, they launched Eye Patch Ale and Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale, which were brewed under contract by Thomas Creek Brewery in South Carolina. In 2012, they acquired a 20,000-square-foot building at 670 Trabert Ave. NW, Atlanta, next to the Atlanta Hemphill Water Treatment Plant, and installed a 30-barrel brewhouse. In January 2013, they brewed their first batch of beer at the new location, and opened to the public for tastings and tours.[3]

The brewery's classic necktie theme and official motto "Weekends Are Overrated" derived from the founders' white collar background: "We started as white collar guys, and when we'd come home on a Monday, we'd loosen our ties and brew beer," said Baker, who has the title, Marketing Guy and Master of Mind Control.

Monday Night's Bourbon Barrel Drafty Kilt won a gold medal at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival. Han Brolo Pale Ale won first place in a blind taste test sponsored by Paste Magazine in April 2018, beating out over 150 other entries.[5]
