Roundtable Discussion | Favorite Football Teams & The Beers That Represent Them

Since we’re right around the halfway point of the 2013 NFL season, I decided to ask our staff who their favorite football team is, why, and if they had to choose one beer to represent their team, which would it be. Some of our finest gents rose to the occasion. Read More

Faking Adulthood | Ordering Wine

Even the beer snobbiest of beer snobs will likely order a bottle of wine at some point in their adult life. If you’re not accustomed to the process it can seem a little daunting, but it’s simple enough once you know to expect.

The Nuances of Baseball

The official Major League Baseball Rules Book is a 125-page document that explains everything from how to play the game to how to keep statistics. Outside of that document there exists a set of unwritten rules that players, managers, and umpires use to govern the gray areas. This post season the legitimacy of some of these rules both written and unwritten have been called into question in regards to their legitimacy and their ability to affect the outcome of a game.  Read More

Pop Culture Week in Review: Open Letter edition

Recently, it seems open letters – writing to a celebrity but letting the media read it – is in vogue. Sinead O’Connor wrote a letter to Miley Cyrus about avoiding the pressures of marketing at the expense of art. Sufjan Stevens also wrote Miley a letter about her grammar. And then (Academy Award-winning actor) Anthony Hopkins wrote to Bryan Cranston about how much he loves/loved “Breaking Bad.” So, in the tradition of these celebs… I present my pop culture week in review as a series of open letters, addressed to the makers of pop culture from October 12-18. Here goes. Read More

Beerstagrams 10/11- 10/18

Have you recovered from GABF yet? I’m not sure we have either. I know a few PorchDrinkers who were claiming a hiatus from beer after the weekend of craft beer heaven. For the record, the hiatus lasted about 12 hours. There were bottle shares and brewery tours, but most importantly, lots of good times and good drinks. Tristan shared a few drinks and played question master with Stone Brewing’s Greg Koch. Let’s all cheers to another amazing (however, maybe a tad more relaxing) weekend!

Hear Me Out: Why I’ll be Watching CW’s Reign

I know, I know.  A period drama on the CW?  Sounds like a horrible idea that will be (or should be) cancelled immediately.  But I will be watching and I am not even the slightest bit ashamed.  First, if you are for some reason unfamiliar with a show that hasn’t premiered yet, here is the trailer.

Roundtable Discussion | 2 Truths and a Lie

It’s high time you all got to know us a little better. We’re playing 2 truths and a lie, so you have to pick out what are factoids about us, and what are totally false statements. And as Justin put it, “Man, either y’all lead the most interesting lives or you guys can BS a BS’er…” Read More

Hockey Week 1 Review

Unleash the Zambonis, it is hockey season! It has been quite exciting with Philly taking the spotlight once again. Starting out the worst than in the league, losing their first 3 games, not to mention only scoring as many goals in that stretch. Craig Berube, former Flyers bruiser and Assistant Coach, will be the interim coach, and completes the cycle for Philadelphia coaching changes this year, with every head coach getting the axe from the previous post, because heaven forbid it is actually the fault of our owners and general managers (yes, I am looking at you Ruben Amaro, Jr. and Ed Snider).

Pop Culture Week in Review 10/4 – 10/11

October is such a wild month. In all regards, it starts with relative ease. Only a slight chill to the weather, only a budding budget squabble in Washington, only flowery decorations on your neighbors porch. But the deeper we fall down October’s rabbit hole, the more madness consumes us. I’m talking about fall frosts, a government shutting down, and terrifying(ly awful) cotton cobwebs and sheet-ghosts on every corner. But hey, at least our popular culture is safe. It’s not like we’re slowly marching to a holiday that metaphorically AND literally celebrates this horror, one that completely consumes the collective culture of everything pop and pulp. Oh, wait.

Awesomesauce- WhiteWhine

Roundtable Discussion – Pairings

While a lot of breweries are now stating suggested food pairings for their beers on either the bottles or their website, we here at PorchDrinking have decided to make similar pairing suggestions, but this time with activities. So we polled our staff: “What are your favorite beer and activity pairings?” Read More
