Ultimate 6er | State Fair of Texas
November 4, 2015 | Kezia Ibarra
When you think of Texas you think of many things, the Dallas Cowboys for one (let’s hope they pull it together soon), massive beef steaks and the State Fair of Texas. This yearly event draws hundreds of thousands over to Fair Park in Dallas, Texas and is the largest & longest running fair in the nation.

November 4, 2015 | Cory Pelc
Alright, hopefully you voted in your state and hopefully shit is changing for the better. Daylight Savings time and Halloween and Day of the Dead behind us, it appears that fall is in full effect. As the leaves change colors and fall, we are slowing in the festival season but there are a few this weekend. There are also some anniversaries and some grand openings. There are some art thingies happening and a bunch of fundraising going on. Look ahead on the calendar as we have filled in a few weeks ahead. We really do want to get ahead on the calendar so you can use it as a true resource for planning further out now that we are smashing that weekly planning tip.

Chicago is no longer an up-and-coming craft beer scene. It is one of the top craft beer scenes in the country. With some of the best breweries pumping out must-have beers the Windy City’s beer game is on fire right now.

Front and center in the manifesto for Athens, Georgia’s Creature Comforts Brewing Co., the brewery says, “We take inspiration from those who crave curiosity and share its reward. The thinkers, the inventors, the artists, the explorers.”

The Ultimate 6er | Trick R Treat!
October 28, 2015 | Cory Pelc
Halloween is my favorite holiday. Something about the crisp fall air and the leaves changing colors has always pulled at my heart strings. Growing up in Colorado, we would always wait for the 31st of October and crossing our fingers that it wouldn’t snow so you didn’t have to wear a coat under your costume. Fast-forward a bunch of years and the holiday still has me twisted. I look forward to picking out my costume, planning on which parties I can attend and planning my must-try beers to go along with my favorite Halloween movies. My favorite Halloween movie is without a doubt, Trick R Treat. The one from 2007 and not the 80’s one. Sure, the 80’s film is great for all of its metal mischief but it can’t hold a candle-in-a-jack-o-lantern to the Samhain anthology of stories that intertwine and enthrall you into following all of the Halloween rules!

PorchDrinking’s Weekly Denver Beer Beat | Oct 28, 2015
October 28, 2015 | Cory Pelc
The Denver/Boulder area is getting a lot of attention from the GOP and it’s a lot like the “bread and circuses” era of the Roman Empire. I won’t tread into politics other than to say that I wish that the presidential candidates had to dress up for the week of Halloween. That would make things MUCH, MUCH more interesting. Amirite?!
