Monday Night Brewing Head Brewer Ryan Cooley Talks Currant Events

We spoke with Monday Night Brewing Head Brewer Ryan Cooley about Currant Events.

BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
I came up with this recipe.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
To me, this is such an easy-drinking, approachable sour beer. I think it works well for people who are just getting into sour beers and want to try something a little more out there - but also a super solid tart sour for those experienced drinkers too. But honestly, pour some into a glass and look at that super awesome cherry-like head that comes with it.

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
We like to do a lot of wordplay in naming our beers (in case you haven’t noticed). Using black currants, we started riffing, and came up with Currant Events.

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
This is such a tasty beer, and it’s pretty low in ABV, so I could knock back 10 of them and the day wouldn’t be so bad.

BC: Do you know a story – or have a personal story – that revolves around this beer?
I was just playing around with fruit flavors and what I thought would pair the best with a tart sour base. Finally decided that boysenberry and black currants would pair really well together. We were stoked about the result, and the color of the beer is killer.

Monday Night Brewing Head Brewer Ryan Cooley Talks Cardigans of the Galaxy

We spoke with Monday Night Brewing Head Brewer Ryan Cooley about Cardigans of the Galaxy.

BC: Who came up with this beer’s recipe?
I’m not one to brag, but this one was mine.

BC: What’s your favorite aspect of this beer (flavor, aroma, etc.)?
Cardigans has such a big hop nose, but it also plays well into the fact that it is so easy to drink. It's also a tribute to the old school IPAs - it's super clear and finishes really dry and clean. That makes the hops come through even more.

BC: Where does this beer’s name come from?
I let our marketing department take that job. The movie, of course, was a big hit when we were throwing around names. And it has Galaxy hops in it.

BC: Is this your “desert island beer?”
I wish I could say yes, but I’d rather have a raft and maybe a volleyball to talk too.

Able Seedhouse and Brewery Unveils Better Selves IPA

Able Seedhouse and Brewery in Minneapolis, Minnesota has announced the release of the brewery's newest core release.

Better Selves IPA is brewed with juicy and tropical hop varietals including Idaho 7, Bravo and Ahtanum.

The full release from the brewery is below.


MINNEAPOLIS — Able Seedhouse + Brewery in Northeast Minneapolis is proud to unveil the newest addition to the brewery’s carefully crafted and well-intentioned core beer offerings.

Better Selves, the new unfiltered IPA, is named after an elevation of thought and action. “The name comes from author and naturalist William Wordsworth, who liked to explore his sense of self through solitude and nature,” said Casey Holley, Able founder. “This has become a core tenet here at Able – expressing ourselves through art, nature, community and of course, beer.”

Similar to unfiltered hazy IPAs, Better Selves is built with a blend of tropical hops including Idaho 7, Bravo and Ahtanum. White wheat and oats are added to balance out the bright citrus tones for a pillow-soft finish and smooth, silky mouth feel. The protein content in the wheat and oats gives the beer its cloudy consistency and milky straw hue.

MillerCoors Sues Anheuser-Busch for "Deceiving" Corn Syrup Ads

MillerCoors, the brewery responsible for Miller Lite, Miller, Coors Light and many other popular American Lagers and Light Lagers, has filed a lawsuit against fellow brewing giant Anheuser-Busch.

Anheuser-Busch has released a series of ads that mention MillerCoors use of corn syrup in their beers, which the company has taken an affront to.

The ads, according to the lawsuit, are false and misleading, and they also believe that most consumers don't understand the difference between corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup.
