Dry Dock Brewing Co. | Big John Ale
August 12, 2015 | Dan Olds
ABV: 5.1%
IBU: 18
When I was a kid I wanted to be a fireman. I was going to have a Dalmatian, extinguish fires, rescue cats from trees, and most importantly drive the big red fire engine. As I grew older my thoughts changed to other careers, but in the back of my mind I still had the picture of my childhood dream. Although becoming a firefighter now is far from reality, I still support the brave men and women who put their lives on the line every day. Read More

CitruSinensis | Lagunitas Brewing Company
August 7, 2015 | Victoria Pratt
ABV: 7.9%
One of my favorite spring beers was Waldo’s Special from the Lagunitas Brewing Company One Hitter Series. Lagunitas has another homerun with their citrus pale ale, a perfect summer beer called CitruSinensis. CitruSinensis was created using “Fresh Sanguinello Blood Oranges inside a Wheatier version of Dogtown Pale(ish) Ale.” Jeremy Marshall, head brewer, stated “we add blood orange juice to the secondary that is just juice so no extract or flavoring. We also let the juice ferment.” This beer was first introduced June 2015 and remains available on tap and 12oz 6 packs. Being part of the One Hitter Series, this is a limited beer that will not last long.
Why Anheuser-Busch’s Distribution Moves Are A Concern
August 6, 2015 | Tristan Chan 1
Wars don’t just spring up over night. They develop slowly through polarizing perspectives, tension and aggression, subtle maneuvers, and eventually the cacophonous opening shots signaling all out warfare.
To many, Anheuser-Busch’s series … Read More

Like a half-consumed beer bottle jolted the wrong way, the Denver beer scene is currently gushing over-excitedly with an abundance of frothy beer. But Denverites welcome the continuous surge; the mass influx of breweries has increased depth and complexity in an already vibrant beer culture.

Red Hare Brewing Co. | Whabbit Wheat
August 6, 2015 | Jess Baker
ABV: 5.6%
Georgia summers are long and hot. You’d swear they start in mid-April. So thank God the good folks at Marietta’s Red Hare Brewing Company thought to brew Whabbit Wheat, a summer beer with a delightful twist of fresh fruit and Saaz hops. It’s a beer that makes the drenching humid days a little bit more tolerable.
Ultimate 6er | DC Swamp 6-Pack
August 5, 2015 | Stacey Goers
The DC crew of PorchDrinking.com actually doesn’t get together terribly often; you all know that we’re important young professionals who wine and dine on K Street each evening. When we do get together, notably to welcome a new writer (hi, Emily Gallt!), we sip and taste beers, both old and new favorites.
Featured image is the Southwest Waterfront in DC on a muggy, sticky summer night. All other images courtesy of corresponding breweries.
We recently met at Penn Commons, a great restaurant and bar in Chinatown that boasts a solid beer list. It was a sweltering day, so we were aching for anything to cool us down. Here’s our picks. Read More

One recent Friday night, I decided to head over after a day at the beach in Asbury Park. As my eyes glossed over great beers like Single Fin (a Belgian pale ale), Port Omna (American stout), and Head High (American IPA), my focus was quickly caught by a familiar favorite: Overhead American Imperial IPA.
