A couple of acquaintances of mine decided to make their wedding reception interesting this summer, and they commissioned a custom beer worthy of their Colorado nuptials. This week I asked the PorchDrinking staff to be creative and play brew master to their own custom or fantasy beer; some even had their own event in mind. If you could be Master of the Brewniverse, what kind of beer would it be?

“Chaison – A chai spiced saison. Spices would be warm, yet refreshing. This ale would most definitely be something that I would drink before and after some yoga and stretching at dusk or at dawn.” — Cory Pelc

“Derby Pie Stout. Bourbon barrel aged and brewed with walnuts and bittersweet chocolate. I feel like this one could either go horribly wrong or wonderfully right.” — Erin Petrey

“Samoa Stout, stout brewed with cocoa nibs and actual dark chocolate, with coconut milk aged in bourbon barrels (for the caramel flavor).” — Tristan Chan

“Sweet potato stout with orange peel, cinnamon, nutmeg, & pecans aged in rum barrels. I also wanna see bouillibase helles with hints of anise.” — Vic
