Beer brewing sagas tend to go something like this: Beer-loving bosom buddies set out on a search to find respite from the nine-to-five drone of everyday life. Armed with half-decent grades in high school chemistry and a “bourgeoning” interest in beer, the aforementioned friends decide to embark upon a brewing journey
Don’t let Urbanata’s company age fool you. Though certainly young and fresh, one would be remiss to pinch her proverbial cheeks and call her “cute,” “naïve,” or “dainty.” Take our word for it: she has more va-va-voom behind those showroom doors than her infant age betrays.
Many Seattleites can admit to having argued with friends/local patrons/now arch nemeses at least once about their dive bar beer preferences. The huffy “I’m from the East Coast, so I’m a PBR drinker” logic is pitted against the indignant “Gotta go with Vitamin R, man, it’s local!” rationale.

If you consider the outpouring of cliché Valentine’s Day roses, heart-shaped chocolate boxes, jewelry ads, lingerie commercials, or just all shades of red as exhausting, you have yet to see The Atomic Bombshells combine it all in their cheeky flair.
It’s déjà vu all over again: Superbowl XLVI features an all too-familiar Patriots-Giants matchup at the middle-of-almost-nowhere Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.
