Mischief Managed by Monday Night Brewing was judged as a fruit beer, BJCP style 29A.
Overall, the beer is extremely tart from beginning to finish. The barrel component, when fused with the (as-expected) lactic dryness of the beer, significantly impacts the Berliner Weisse experience,... Read More

Ante Meridiem by Monday Night Brewing was judged as an Imperial Brown Ale (Style 33B—Specialty Wood Aged Beer). Weighing in at a hefty 13.5% ABV, as I sampled the thick dark brew, it was hard to find any perceived hotness from the alcohol. Although I was able to coax a head out of the beer, it... Read More

Aromas jumped out of the beer, like unpeeling a clementine tangerine in the middle of winter. Notes of pineapple and mango were also present. With the addition of white grapefruit juice to this... Read More
