How Is That Legal?! Legalizing Marijuana Volume II
November 5, 2016 | Tristan Chan
Please let it be known that we intentionally tend to avoid discussing politics and or marijuana on PorchDrinking unless it involves parody, humor, or more commonly drinking games and the occasional 4/20 weed and beer pairing. But this election cycle has certainly been anything but ordinary.
Beerstagram | October 27 – November 3
November 4, 2016 | Holly Gerard
Somehow it is suddenly November! Where did October go? Did you have a good Halloween? We are so close to the political madness being over and for the holiday season to begin, are you ready?! Do you need to look at pretty photos of beer to calm you’re nerves? Well, good. Then you are in luck because there were some good shots to share for this week’s Beerstagram. Cheers!
Election 2016: The Issues We Care About
November 3, 2016 | Drew Troller
This voter is very disappointed. The 2016 Presidential election has been all about scandals and “temperament” and personalities of the candidates. There’s been a dearth of serious discussion on serious issues. It wasn’t until the third debate that a candidate brought up climate change. Women’s health has been largely ignored. And we haven’t heard enough about what Trump or Clinton will do to keep social security from crumbling.
PorchDrinking Playlist | Fall Y’all
November 1, 2016 | Sarah Boisen
Happy fall, y’all! The weather has finally taken a turn for the chilly and pumpkin spice flavored everything has made its return to basic greatness. We’re here to spice up the cozy months ahead with yet another seasonal stockpile of sounds that are old, new and pumpkin optional.
PorchDrinking Playlist | Basic Witches
October 31, 2016 | Sarah Boisen
Bout that time again folks, the season of spook is upon us! Ghosts are waiting to be busted and basic witches near and far are happily sipping on their nonfat pumpkin spice lattes in between capturing the ultimate fall foliage selfies.

Beerstagram | October 20 – October 27
October 28, 2016 | Holly Gerard
The World Series kicked off this week, are you excited?! We aren’t picking sides over here at PorchDrinking since we have writers from all over the country, so it is hard to choose. Also, Halloween is coming up and it seems like many breweries are celebrating this weekend. Are you dressing up as anything? This week’s Beerstagram is a bit of a mixed bag subject-wise but these photos do all have one thing in common: they are pretty (and have the essence of beer in them). Be sure to keep tagging us, you know the drill. Until next week, folks!
Ultimate 666er | Horror Flicks
October 27, 2016 | Chris & Sylvia Hollands
Hooray for the spooky chill in the air. Besides the overwhelming benefits of better sleep in a cool bedroom, it’s Halloween time! One of our family’s favorite holidays. Bring on the autumn beer and horror movies!
PorchDrinking Playlists | Songs White People Love Volume III
October 25, 2016 | Tristan Chan
With racial tensions higher than ever, and an election cycle that exacerbated those riffs to an even greater degree, it’s time to bring us back down to Earth and just laugh a little, sing a little, awkwardly dance a lot. That’s right white folks, Songs White People Love is back for Volume III, and it’s more awkward than ever.
Beerstagram | October 13 – October 20
October 21, 2016 | Holly Gerard

October 14, 2016 | Holly Gerard
Hard to believe it has already been a week since GABF 2016 kicked off! Where did this week go?! Did you all enjoy it?! All of us over here at PD are still recovering from all the events from last week–whew! It was so much fun though! What have you all been up to this week? Did you get to pop open some good bottles or visit some good breweries? From the looks of this week’s Beerstagram, it looks like some of you did! I will meet you here again next week, cheers!
Ultimate 6er | Presidential Election
October 13, 2016 | Brad Hartsock
I think we can safely say that our Presidential election is in the Tyson Zone.
On the one hand we have Hillary Clinton. I’ve heard some folks don’t like her. (That’s a real story about a presidential candidate in 2016.)
Beerstagram | September 29 – October 6
October 7, 2016 | Holly Gerard
It’s GABF week!! We are having a hard time containing our excitement over here, can’t you tell?! This week’s Beerstagram is of course dedicated to the almighty Great American Beer Festival. Cheers!
Ultimate 6er | New Girl
October 5, 2016 | Hannah Carlson
As everyone knows, we are in the midst of truly, trying times.
The political landscape is forcing us to drink on end. 2016 robbed us of our heroes. Celebrity couples are making us doubt if love is real. Really – we can’t even stand the thought of what could be next.

PorchDrinking Playlist | Proper Brewing Co.
September 27, 2016 | Chris & Sylvia Hollands
This place really is an adult playground. Looking to the left, we see Bill & Ted and to the right, we’re greeted by Wayne & Garth (all tanks have been given names of pop culture icons.) In the middle of it all, Jack is making beer on a home brew setup and today is in charge of the tunes at Proper Brewing Co. In between watching the boil, he takes a moment to set the next song.

2016 Presidential Debate Drinking Game
September 26, 2016 | Hannah Carlson

Unless you’ve been in a coma for the past six months, you’re well aware that this has been the most absurd, controversial, heated and passionate election cycle that this country has ever seen. In recent months, the country has heard about Donald Trump’s, er, hand size, exhausted the topic of Hillary Clinton’s inbox, and experienced major deja vu at the Republican National Convention. I would say that it has been a roller coaster of a season, but the comparison does not do justice to the madness. Read More

2016 Presidential Debate BINGO
September 23, 2016 | Drew Troller
The Presidential Debate on Monday, September 26 is maybe the most anticipated debate in your lifetime or mine. Expect massive ratings on TV. Anticipate hostility between the candidates on stage. Plan on a few major soundbites to play on cable news for days afterward. And overall, honestly, you can likely expect to be a bit bored by the end. Which is why PorchDrinking brings you Presidential debate Bingo!
PorchDrinking has the antidote to debate boredom and political bickering. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents can ALL play our Debate Bingo game. Whichever candidate you support, we’ve got the card for you (five for each candidate, to be exact). Enjoy competing with friends. Read More
PorchDrinking Playlist | Fuzzy Sock Moonwalk
September 20, 2016 | Sarah Boisen
As I approached mile 3,000 on my seemingly never ending cross-county road trip, the novelty of bumping to an infinite playlist of my favorite sounds had sadly worn off. Just as mesmerizing mountains gave way to an endless expanse of less than captivating flatness, my treasured playlist suddenly found itself back to ‘Track 1’ … for about the 20th time. I quickly realized two things: one, that I had zero cell service and two, that I had made a huge rookie mistake in thinking that I could solely rely on a single playlist, no matter how fantastic, to get me across the country.
