Event Recap | Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival 2017

August 30, 2017 |

We came. We roasted. We toasted.

But we did it. We puffed and chugged our way through our fourth Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival on Saturday, August 26th, after enjoying a day in the sun to sip suds and puff clouds of grey smoke. As the festival ‘wrapped’ up, we reminisced about our favorite pour, favorite puff and the many take-aways a festival like this can present. As we ventured out to document the festivities and to bring back some new recommendations for you to try, with our lungs charred and our palates shot, we come back with hope you take a few moments to check out these great photos showcasing the event and hope to see you there next year!

Event Recap | Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival 2016

August 23, 2016 |

Cigar purists are just like craft beer purists. That’s not a defamatory statement. That’s a big compliment.

They fight against regulation and the proverbial ‘man’ that holds them down, that tries to snub them out. While we feel their pain with the latter and their ongoing trials and tribulations with smoking ban after smoking ban, we see the big brands buying up our favorite craft breweries and controlling their distribution.

2014 Vail Big Beers Belgians and Barleywines Recap

January 20, 2014 |

All photos provided by Will Dozier and Lynn Thayer

I distinctly remembered leaving last year’s Vail Big Beers Belgians and Barleywines Festival feeling like I had done something illegal, as if I had snuck into first class mid-flight, or was mistaken for a movie star and gotten into a private party. See when I left VBBB last year I had just encountered one of the greatest collections of rare/phenomenal beers assembled in one place.

PorchDrinking Gives Thanks for 2012

December 31, 2012 |

It has been a crazy ride for us this past 6 months. In June of 2012 we set out to create a fun side project for our group of friends as an excuse to write again, and more importantly drink beer. What has transpired is a group of nearly 60 writers, editors, and staff members who have volunteered their time to create something truly amazing.
