The PorchCast Ep 93 | CBC Edition: More Brewing + Forager Brewing

In a very special CBC edition of The PorchCast we broadcasted live from First Draft Taproom & Kitchen in Minneapolis, MN. During these episodes we had the opportunity to chat with four incredible breweries while sampling beers at the PorchDrinking takeover events. In the first of our CBC edition episodes, we sat down with Aaron Keefner, Director of Business Operations, and David Ziebel, Head Brewer for More Brewing in Illinois, to talk about their meteoric rise.

Additionally we also were joined by Austin Jevne, co-founder of Forager and owner of Humble Forager, to discuss their incredible barrel-aged stout program, their unique growth model, the use of fire ants in beer and much more!

Vail Craft Beer Classic

With the huge selection of breweries in Colorado, it’s almost impossible to find time to try all the beers on your bucket list. Festivals like the Vail Craft Beer Classic bring breweries together so you can sip between hundreds of craft beers from breweries across the state, including breweries you might not see at the Denver festivals from the Western Slope. I’m excited to announce that this event is returning on June 17 & 18. Come to the mountains this summer for an adventurous craft beer tasting featuring an awesome live music lineup. Grab the group and enjoy the whole weekend in Vail with lodging discounts available on the Vail Craft Beer Classic website.
