Atlanta’s Monday Night Brewing celebrates its 10th anniversary this weekend with the Tie One party. Look for five bars, 40-plus beers, a late-night party, live music, local food vendors, and some special surprises.
In addition to all that, there’s a big, bold 10th anniversary strong ale, Tie X On, and it’s this week’s Beer Pick.

Profile
Created to celebrate Monday Night’s 10th anniversary, Tie X On is a blend of barleywines, stouts, and quads. The 13.6% alcohol strong ale has been in the making for over four years. And each unique barrel and beer in the blend was hand-selected by brewmaster Peter Kiley and barrel program manager Tim McDonnell.
The result is big, but dangerously drinkable, dark beer that’s malt forward, and layered with syrupy complexity. The quads open it up with a rum-raisin character, while the stouts and barleywines join in to reveal chocolate and toffee notes, and brandy warmth, before an off-dry finish.
Pair with
Tie X On is one of those big beers that work best after dinner or as a night cap. But it would be more than fine with chocolate desserts or buttery or spicy blue cheese.
