Monday Night Brewing is a craft brewery established in 2006 by Jonathan Baker, Jeff Heck, and Joel Iverson in Atlanta, Georgia. Peter Kiley holds the position of Brewmaster. Jeff Heck functions as Chief Operations Officer, while Joel Iverson serves as Chief Project Officer.
History
The founders initially connected through a Bible study group at Atlanta Westside Presbyterian Church and began crafting beer in Heck's garage on Monday evenings. They formulated a business strategy and introduced Eye Patch Ale along with Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale in 2011, which were originally brewed under contract at Thomas Creek Brewery in South Carolina.
In 2012, the company purchased a 20,000-square-foot space located at 670 Trabert Ave. NW, Atlanta, where they installed a 30-barrel brewhouse. Peter Kiley became Brewmaster in January 2013, coinciding with the start of on-site beer production and the opening of the facility to the public for tastings and tours.
The brewery’s branding, inspired by neckties, alongside its slogan "Weekends Are Overrated," highlights the founders' professional white-collar roots.
Recognition
Monday Night Brewing received a gold medal for its Bourbon Barrel Drafty Kilt at the 2014 Great American Beer Festival. In 2018, Han Brolo Pale Ale was awarded first place in a blind taste test conducted by Paste Magazine, surpassing over 150 competitors. Additionally, the brewery earned second place at the 2024 U.S. Open Beer Championship, underscoring its strong presence in the industry.
Locations
Monday Night Brewing maintains three venues: two situated in Atlanta and one in Birmingham, Alabama. The original brewery is located at 670 Trabert Ave NW, Atlanta. A barrel-aging and souring facility with an attached taproom is found in West End at 933 Lee St SW. The Birmingham brewpub at 14 12th St S features Tappa-style Mexican cuisine paired with signature beers such as Hop Hut IPAs and Garage Series offerings, aiding expansion into regional markets.
