The Modern Times Beer Blog

The first portion of the monumentally delicious December special release beers will officially be up for grabs tomorrow morning at 10AM. Our special projects magicians have reached out into the ether and plucked these hazy, refreshing, funky, barrel-aged, fruited, and caffeinated miracles out of the void for your drinking pleasure. It may be early in the holiday season, but this year more than ever, you deserve to treat yourself to some of the most delicious beveragery in the known universe. PLUS, we have a new & vastly improved reservation system, so getting in on all this deliciousness is easier than ever. Without further ado, let us dive into this month’s pool of liquid splendor. 

We can agree that getting your paws on some brand new special release beers is downright delightful; we can also probably agree that the pick-up reservations have been tricky to navigate...UNTIL NOW. We're implementing an entirely new reservation system and pickup policy, starting today. It's significantly easier to use than the last system, and best of all, reservations are no longer required for pickups. While no longer required, we still highly encourage them; people with reservations will receive priority over those without them.

...and totally worth the wait.

If you're reading this, it's presale time. As many of our friends gear up to kick off the holiday season with some indulgence next week, we consider it due diligence to inform you all that a cornucopia of inordinately tasty adult beverages will be included in Saturday's special release presale. More specifically, a quartet of collaborative wonders ranging from crispy to lupulin-laden to decadent, all manners of hop-wizardry, and a delectable sour. Yeah, pretty tight. Now, let’s dive into this assuredly tasty pool.

Despite the utter insanity of 2020, it’s been a banner year for our coffee program, which has smashed existing records for previous years while simultaneously producing some of the most exceptionally tasty coffee we’ve ever roasted. One of the primary drivers of this wildly successful, caffeinated party-train has been Tessie Warnecke, who we’re thrilled to introduce as the new Program Manager for Modern Times Coffee. Tessie’s wealth of industry experience is matched by her passion for creating great coffees that are not only world class, but ethically sourced from seed to cup. She brings a tremendous skillset, a refreshing lack of pretense, and a focus on fostering both internal and external relationships to MT Coffee.
