Get ready Atlanta, Monday nights just got a lot more fun. “Tie one on” and head over to the Westside to check out the spanking new Monday Night Brewery. In an old warehouse at the bottom of Trabert Avenue sit three gents making some killer brews. Monday Night Brewing is the brainchild of Jonathan Baker, Jeff Heck and Joel Iverson, who started making home-brews after a weekly bible study pre-2006. It took a while to get to this point, but when you walk around the space and listen to the guys talk, you know they have done it right.
For eleven years I lived and breathed the craft beer scene in Atlanta, and let me tell you, few things beat that first sip of a new local brew on a hot summer night. When it comes to putting a fresh, innovative spin on classic styles, few breweries captivate me quite like newest brewery Monday Night Brewing. Their commitment to pushing the boundaries of brewing while maintaining a dedication to quality makes their brews a staple in my fridge.
Monday Night Brewing has become a staple in Atlanta. They consistently crank out unique beers that leave people wanting more.
It’s the kind of place you want to bring your friends to experience something new and different. Their story starts in a rather familiar way—a group of friends homebrewing in a basement on Monday nights, hence their name. This wasn’t just a hobby for them though. They had a passion for crafting truly excellent beers and a bit of a rebellious streak that told them they could do things differently.

A Look at Newest Brewery Monday Night Brewing
The success of their “Monday Night Garage,” a sort of experimental offshoot, really allowed Monday Night Brewing to show their creativity. What started as a small space quickly grew into a testament to the brewery’s dedication to innovation.
That same spirit is present in everything Monday Night Brewing does. Take, for example, their “Saint Monday” series. This isn’t your typical Helles lager.
This brew uses a unique blend of hops and a slower fermentation process. What does that mean for your taste buds? It means you get this perfectly balanced, crisp, and clean beer that’s ideal for any day that ends in “y” — not just Mondays.
Of course, you can’t forget the food. Monday Night Brewing knows the way to a beer lover’s heart is through their stomach, and they’ve upped the ante on the Atlanta brewery scene with some delicious food options. Think wood-fired pizzas with special sourdough made with – get this – reclaimed yeast from their brewing process. I mean come on, you have to try this at least once, right?.
This ingenuity, paired with their obvious love of craft brewing and good times, has solidified their place in my heart. But the food isn’t limited to pizza alone. The brewery routinely partners with local food vendors and pop-ups, transforming the space into a haven for deliciousness. Some popular local partners have included: Monday Night Brewing Atlanta Lager, non-profit fundraisers, and corporate happy hours. Imagine sipping a crisp “Blind Pirate” Blood Orange IPA while enjoying some of the city’s finest culinary offerings. That’s an experience I’d recommend you put on your Atlanta to-do list right away.
And here’s a fun fact. Did you know Monday Night Brewing’s creativity goes beyond beer? They’ve also branched out into the world of spirits with their “Sneaky Pete” line. Brewmaster Peter Kiley’s experience and innovative techniques led to the creation of some truly exceptional small-batch gins.
Whether you’re a seasoned hop head or a curious newbie taking their first steps into craft brewing, Monday Night Brewing welcomes everyone. From new brews hitting the taps to limited-edition can releases, they keep things interesting for the diehards, like me, and those new to their brand. It’s a community hub.
They regularly host events, tastings, and even homebrewing classes for the community because sharing is caring, right?
Conclusion
Whether you’re grabbing a pint after work or settling in for a night of trivia with friends, newest brewery Monday Night Brewing delivers an atmosphere that’s as welcoming and vibrant as their brews. In a world overflowing with cookie-cutter breweries, Monday Night Brewing marches to the beat of their own drummer, and their commitment to flavor is clear in every sip.
But the reason people will show up again and again is the beer; its damn good.
Cool tasting room? Check. Great bunch of guys doing cool things? Check. Damn good beer? Check.
Oh hell yes, we’ll be back.
Cheers Y’all.
