Eric Griffin is a writer, traveler, and longtime craft beer enthusiast covering beer culture, brewing traditions, and the people and places that shape how we drink. His work focuses on the social and cultural side of beer — from regional styles and festivals to the stories that unfold around a shared pint.
Originally from Massachusetts, Eric earned his bachelor’s degree from James Madison University and later spent several years in California, experiences that helped expand both his beer interests and his appreciation for diverse drinking cultures. What began as curiosity has evolved into a lasting passion for understanding beer beyond the label.
While he has a soft spot for barrel-aged and high-gravity beers, Eric increasingly values the nuance and craftsmanship found in well-made lagers and classic styles. His writing has appeared on
PorchDrinking and in
High Times Magazine, often drawing on travel and firsthand experience.
At
PorchDrinking, Eric brings a people-first perspective to beer — celebrating not just what’s being brewed, but where, why, and with whom it’s being enjoyed.
