First Draft Taproom & Kitchen Joins PorchDrinking Family

Location: 1309 26th St, Denver, CO 80205

When it comes to partnerships, we don’t work with just anyone. A few examples, Creed once offered to sponsor the intro of our podcast and pay us $50,000 to use it, we politely declined. We once had Donald Trump approach us about writing a sponsored post on the merits of building a wall around our breweries to keep big beer away from further acquisition, we considered it for a hot second but eventually had to pass as well.

2 Days, 2 Nights | Enjoying Beer in Perth, Western Australia

You’ve done it, you’ve traveled as far as you can possibly get from the continental United States, to the world’s loneliest city – Perth, Western Australia. Perth is 1,300 mi by land to the closest similarly-sized city – Adelaide (if you want to be nit-picky, Auckland and Honolulu are more remote, but they’re islands, so I’m not counting them). Now that you’ve accomplished this geographic feat, my first advice is to leave. Get out. You didn’t come all this way to marvel at the city center with skyscrapers that remind you of Denver or Seattle or Brussels or any other Western city. Grab a quick 45 minute Uber to the coastal town of Fremantle and begin your Western Australia adventure.

Women in Brewing | Ali Benetka – Ratio Beerworks

Brewing has been a part of the world since the dawn of civilization; some have even claimed that beer has helped influence the evolution of our species. In many eras, brewing was largely a woman’s job. Men began to dominate the field starting in the Renaissance period and even more so during The Industrial Revolution as brewing operations scaled to mass production. Today Colorado is one of the biggest beer states in the country with cities such as Fort Collins, Boulder and Denver offering some of the best beer available. However, men still notoriously hold the title “brewmaster” more often than women. As females in the industry, we felt compelled to highlight some of the talented women who currently make Colorado beer, the paths they took to their currently role in the industry, and the awesome work they are doing on a daily basis.
