# Monday Night Brewing

Monday Night Brewing is a craft brewery founded in 2006 by Jonathan Baker, Jeff Heck, and Joel Iverson in Atlanta, Georgia.

## History

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, and started putting together a business plan to open their own brewery. 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, Peter Kiley (Brewmaster), joined the team and they brewed their first batch of beer at the new location, and opened to the public for tastings and tours.

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.

Peter Kiley is the Brewmaster for Monday Night Brewing. Rachel Kiley is the chief operations officer and Clint Wood is the Vice President of Sales
