MONDAY NIGHT BREWING

IMG_8625
Hey yall, this is Ryan. I’m that sweety sweet sweet boyfriend//Silver Foxxx guy Jess keeps talking about. Because she’s a sweetheart herself, she lent me her blog for this post to tell ya just how much fun we had on our Saturday afternoon date to a brewery; which I took her to for completely unselfish reasons. sort of :P
this wasn’t just any brewery tour. No ma’am, this was Monday Night Brewing’s launch week & it was glorious.  I had the great fortune to visit the space and use MNB co-founders Jeff, Joel, and Jonathan as models in an all men’s pin up calendar I sponsored and organized this past summer. At that time, besides palates upon palates of kegs and the guys playing bocce in the office, the place looked deserted.  I can’t tell you how excited I was to see the finished product, but here’s my best shot.

I’m wearing: a Clapham Tie, H&M jacket + shirt, LOVA denim, and ROUGE boots.
More importantly, I’m drinking: the 1st beer of the 4 you get with your $10 entry fee; The Drafty Kilt. It’s a Scotch Ale that is more than a wee bit full bodied weighing in at 7.2% ABV with smoke and chocolate notes that has a lightly sweet finish.

Believe it or not, it all started in that bucket (to the left) in MNB’s CEO and Supreme Beer Chancellor, Jeff Heck’s, garage.  Now, you can find their beer in growleries (that’s totally a word…promise), restaurants, and coffee shops all around Atlanta. Oh, and they just bought a bottling machine. Finally, Fu Man Brews and movies featuring Fu Man Chus Night can be a thing!

ties = good
 beer = great
Ties + Beer = a beautiful thing
Fun fact: If you bring a tie to donate to the wall, you get $1 off of your entry fee!

The space is beautiful.  The beer is magnificent and at $10 a ticket for a tour, 4 nearly full glasses of beer, and your very own MNB pint glass included in the ticket cost; you have no excuse.  Tours are on Mondays 5:30-7:30, Thursdays 5:30-7:30, and Saturdays 2:00-4:00. For your health, drop by 670 Trabert Ave NW, get your tour on, play some shuffleboard, and “Tie One On”…or ya know..several.

I’m sure with my mention of a dinner event you were interested in hearing more details, right? so here goes, the Moveable Feast is being held THIS SUNDAY at the Highland Inn Ballroom hosted by Native Crave-a catering and events company my boyfriend has been operating since last year. he’s booked live music including a harp session by Atlanta local singer/song writer Nadia Marie, a Swing House dj set and we’ve handcrafted decor. OH and there’s also the delicious tapas menu he’s prepared!!
in regards to the events environment and attire Ryan said “I want the space to feel as if we were making our home among the trees and coming together for fellowship and celebration. the attire should reflect that in the way of re-meeting our true selves. like taking your city look back to it’s roots. therefore-urban meets arbor.”

if you are in the Atlanta area come over to the Highlands for a unique “Supper Club” experience.

FAVORABLE TREND

city_rustic2
lately through street style snaps on blogs and Pinterest I’ve noticed a rustic city gal meets cowgirl trend i’ve been really into including wide-brim hats, parkas, ankle boots, satchels and fringe. I’ve pulled some of my favorite looks from my “Streets and Style” board showing how it’s done all over the world.

the look even comes in a dressy version

casual shades of blue

I’m always up for mixing brown and black
this ensemble is very much my style as it’s relaxed, comfy with a little tomboy mixed in with BOOTS.
snapped a few photos on Sunday of how I’m currently rocking this trend using pieces from my own wardrobe-stay tuned for photos TOMORROW.
