The PorchCast Ep. 116 | Fiction Beer Co.

In episode 116 of the PorchCast, Tristan, Bryant, and Korey spoke with Ted Menendez and Elise Sjostedt, two of the seven new owners of Fiction Beer Co who helped revive the brewery after its announced closure in December.

Part of a group of trivia hosts who were sad to see their neighborhood brewery close, all seven hosts banded together to save their beloved brewery. Now they’re carrying on the legacy started by Ryan and Christa Kilpatrick, and have even learned to brew many of their most popular recipes.

Hear the full story behind how this ragtag group of trivia hosts helped save a beloved Denver brewing institution.

Let’s talk about Mind Haze—Firestone Walker’s iconic lineup of hazy IPAs that don’t just blur the line between reality and beer; they straight-up obliterate it.

Thank you to Firestone Walker Brewing

A big thank you to the Firestone Walker team for sponsoring the PorchCast. Be sure to check out their latest release in the Mind Haze IPA series, Mind Haze Rage Turbo Radler—a hazy beer-meets-lemonade hybrid that exists purely to confuse beer purists and refresh the rest of us. It’s big flavor, low bitterness, and exactly what you want after pretending to be productive all day.

So whether you’re here for the haze, the juice, or just the excuse to crack another one open, Mind Haze has your back. Find it at your favorite beer spot—or if you can’t find it, maybe rethink your life choices.

Finally, thanks to Denver band, Bud Bronson & the Good Timers for allowing the use of their song, “Denver Rock City” for our opening and closing themes.
