I woke up today and realized I hadn’t blogged in a bit, so here I am knocking out a blog for you to read! As always, these are chill, almost like a conversation, so don’t be offended by run on sentences, swear words, or weird pop culture references. I will always use the oxford comma, when appropriate….

So first off, I guess it is cool to point out that Scott has almost been with Monon for a full year! He started with me last year in May and is killing it. He likes sours, so hit me with ideas on social media of what I should get for him (@mononbeverage) and I will explore suggestions! Sorry Scott, surprise is ruined.

Next thing we all might be thinking about is the Avengers movie is coming out this week, but did you see that Venom trailer…? Did you know Thanos has been Venom….? Shouldnt get started on this worm hole of superhero talk… But Thanos did have the symbiote, would have been cooler as Carnage….

Back to Monon related things though, although I am always happy to talk comics, movies (or Films as Josh Hull-oween would call them….Nerd…), or whatever nerd stuff you got. Love that stuff

So we have been getting into some fun things with our producers. Participating in events like Death and Taxes day, 4/20ish party, Muncie BrewFest and more. Its been crazy busy, but thats good!

We even have a really cool thing being worked on behind the scenes. I can’t say much yet, however, I think it is something new, and not done before in the Indy area…. We will see as the time comes closer, maybe its been done, just more quietly.

I figure I will end on throwing out some of my favorite products from our producer partners. If you watched Monday’s with Monon 2 weeks ago, you could have heard what both Scott and I were feeling from our breweries, but that may have changed as 2 weeks ago is a world away.

Moonlight Meadery: Little Apples cider is becoming my front runner favorite. Semi dry cider, oh, and it killed it at the Muncie Brewfest, we ran out of this first!!
Flat 12: Holy Cross Kolsche Series, peach kolsch is a solid spring time beer, im ready for mango kolsch to come out soon. These fruited kolsches are solid.
Evil Czech: Nefarious Harbor, NEIPA, Juicy, Dank, Hazy. ‘Nuff said.
Burn Em: Hop Parade, tropical hoppy beer. Cool cool!
Byway: Chupacabra, this leans away from their traditional style beers and gets crazy as it is a pomegranate margarita gose. While I love their porter, this may take 1st from them.
Tin Man: BB Csar, wellll slightly cheating on this as it isnt currently available, however, I just had one last night and remembered how much I loved it.

Hoosier Momma: Sriracha Mix, my favorite alcoholic mix drink is a bloody mary, and this one is perfect blend of spices, margarita mix is solid, especially with Cinco de Mayo coming up
Live Proud: This is one of the few vodkas I can drink straight up. Clean, and slightly sweet. Perfect to add to a bloody mary…
Best Vineyards and Winery: Mango Wine… Makes me want to go outside and do some barbecue right now. Balanced sweetness, definitely going to play with it in cooking soon.

Make sure to check out our weekly videos on Facebook, Monday’s with Monon. Cheers!

OH! Remember that time Captain America said Hail Hydra…? (thats really the quickest way I could have ended this blog)
