Brew Crew
Mel's has a challenge known as the "brew crew" in which participants are given a list of 40 beers to be marked with a stamp as they are drank. The rules are that you must purchase and consume each beer on the list, and that you cannot complete the challenge in one night. Once the list is completed, the challenger becomes a member of the aforementioned brew crew and gets a couple of perks, including a personal 20 oz. glass and his or her name on a plaque behind the bar.
Bigga
Mel's most well-known bouncer, Bigga, loved by many and hated by a small but significant few, passed away in January 2013.[1]
