Roundtable Discussion | Worst Craft Brewery Acquisition Scenarios
September 11, 2015 | Kathleen Morton

Roundtable Discussion | April Beer Month
April 15, 2015 | Kathleen Morton
In Colorado, February is known as Stout Month. And it makes sense, as the weather is still wintery and you need a drink that can fill you up.
That got me thinking, what kind of month would April be? It’s unpredictable, yet smack in the middle of spring, as we get amped up for summertime.
Roundtable Discussion | Favorite St. Paddy’s Day Memories

Roundtable Discussion | AB InBev Worst Case Scenarios
February 18, 2015 | Kathleen Morton
AB InBev stands for Anheuser-Busch InBev, and the company makes up some popular brands such as Budweiser, Corona, Stella Artois and Beck’s. AB InBev bought its first craft brewer in 2011, Goose Island. In January, it purchased Seattle-based Elysian Brewing Co., making it the fourth craft brewery acquisition by the world’s largest beer company in the last five years.
Other craft breweries could be next. We asked our staff which breweries they would be upset to see bought by the $1 billion/year company.
Roundtable Discussion | Beer and Cheese Pairings
January 21, 2015 | Kathleen Morton
To celebrate National Cheese Day (wait … no one else is celebrating?!) on Jan. 20, we asked the PD Staff for their favorite beer and cheese pairings. Pretty soon everyone got hungry and made a quick trip to the grocery store to stock up on the real essentials. We’d love to hear from you. Add your recommendations in the comments.
Roundtable Discussion | This Year’s Memorable Beers
December 24, 2014 | Kathleen Morton

Roundtable Discussion |GABF Game Plan
September 24, 2014 | Kathleen Morton
Great American Beer Festival takes place Oct. 2-4 at the Colorado Convention Center. Since that’s right around the corner, we asked our staff if they had a GABF game plan and what it was. Are they looking forward to sours, pumpkin, big beers or hoppy beers?
Roundtable Discussion | Seasonal Beers Out of Season
August 27, 2014 | Kathleen Morton
Fellow PorchDrinking staff member Joshua Kan started the discussion about a week ago. His story goes a little like this.
A friend of mine just posted this status:
“Boycotting pumpkin beers and pumpkin spice coffees until it’s OFFICIALLY fall. One season at a time guys. Don’t be a Walmart.”
Thought it was a pretty interesting topic. What are your thoughts on drinking seasonal beers out of season?

It was announced this week that two big names in beer, Mikkeller and Three Floyds would be teaming up for a new brewery in Copenhagen, which leads us to ask … if you were able to collaborate and brew with any brewery in the world, which would it be and why?
The staff weighs in on their dream brewery collaborations.
Roundtable Discussion | Mom Memories
May 7, 2014 | Kathleen Morton
Ahhhh, Mother’s Day … it’s right around the corner and most likely, you still need to get your mom a present. Speaking of which, I found a really helpful list of “19 Gifts No Mom Wants On Mother’s Day” from Buzzfeed. Hope it’s helpful! We asked the staff to talk about their moms and reflect on embarrassing/funny stories. Of course, they became drinking related real fast! Cheers to our mamas!
Roundtable Discussion | How to Properly Dress for an 80s Party
March 26, 2014 | Kathleen Morton
You’re invited to an 80s party, in particular, THIS party! Just one problem though, what do you wear? How do you properly dress for a party in the decade you made your debut? Or maybe you missed the 80s and came a little too late to experience the awesomeness. In that case, it’s even more necessary for you to read some ideas of what you will wear for the New Kids on the Block 80′s/Craft Beer Party!
Roundtable Discussion | Favorite Stout
February 26, 2014 | Kathleen Morton 1
Sadly, 21st annual Stout Month at the four Mountain Sun locations in Colorado comes to an end this month. Don’t forget to stop by Vine St. Pub this Thursday as they round out the month with their Chops Competition and the final tappings of stout month. In honor of the awesomesauce that was this past month, we asked the staff about their favorite stouts.
