    Mondays seem slow when it comes to the beer bar scene. I can’t recall the last time a release party was held or special keg was tapped on a Monday. I can’t recall the last time any event that would peak the interest of the average BA took place on a Monday, and that sucks. I have Mondays off, and by golly I want to have something beery to do. So…
    I’m proposing a weekly BA get-together called New Bar Monday. Starting Monday, January 6th I’d like to hit up 52 different Twin Cities beer bars and meet as many BA’s as possible in 2014. It would be cool if this thing would get really huge with one or two dozen BA’s showing up on a given week. However, the way I see it even if only three or four can make it out each week it would still be worth it. The point of the gathering wouldn’t necessarily be to taste the latest greatest concoction (although some weeks it could be). Instead, it would be about BA camaraderie (I’d rather drink a Furious or Summit Oatmeal Stout with my fellow BA’s than a Westy 12 by myself).

    Here are the rules:
    1.) We hit up a different bar every week—no bar can be hit up more than once per year
    2.) Next week’s bar will be decided on by vote at this week’s meeting—I will open a thread each week with info on where and when to meet for the next Monday
    3.) Come and go as you please—stay for one beer or stay all night

    So who’s with me? Where should we meet on the evening of January 6th, or should we start it sooner?

    I dig it. Will definitely try to make it if I don't have Monday night class again this semester.
