The PorchCast Ep 71 | Alex Kidd – Don’t Drink Beer

In episode 71 of the PorchCast, we spoke with Alex Kidd, founder of the popular entertainment and satire brand Don’t Drink Beer, who this summer also raised an astounding $67,000 via 14,000 participants in fundraisers for the family of Breonna Taylor and Elijah McClain.

We caught up with Alex to talk about how he started Don’t Drink Beer, what comedy looks like in the beer world today, how his podcast Malt Couture has pivoted during the pandemic and, of course, we dove into his apparent obsession with Barleywines and otters.

Special thanks to this week’s sponsors Molly’s Spirits & Cerebral Brewing!

If 2020 were like any other year, we’d be revving up for ALL THE HOPS, Cerebral Brewing’s GABF parking lot can jam extravaganza, where they bring some of the country’s best breweries to Denver for all to enjoy. But this year isn’t like any other. No GABF. No travel. No fun? Hell, no! This year they’re introducing ALL THE STOPS, a vicarious voyage across the nation with stops at some of our favorite breweries. Starting October 9th, Cerebral has been dropping guest cans every week from a different region of the country as they travel from Cali to The Big Apple. Releases include beers from breweries not typically available in this state like Bottle Logic, Voodoo Brewery, Southern Grist, Parish, Finback, Equilibrium, and more! Order your case of All the Hops from this week’s drop today!
