PorchDrinking Playlist | Songs About Porches
June 24, 2014 | Tristan Chan
For those of you who have been with us since the beginning this playlist may look a tad familiar. Last year to commemorate our 1 year anniversary I curated this playlist chock full of songs about porches. Here we are a year later and tomorrow we celebrate the 2nd birthday of PorchDrinking.com. We’ve come a long way from the gun-slingin wild wild western days of 2012. And while some writers have come and gone and some beers have revealed themselves as 8th wonders of the world, and others have left us with much to be desired, one thing has remained a constant along the way. When it gets down to the core of who we are, we’ll still draw inspiration from drinking on the porch with good friends. So today on this eve of our 2nd Year Anniversary we bring you even more songs about porches.

Great Divide | 20th Anniversary Celebration Recap
June 18, 2014 | Cory Pelc 1
This past Saturday we celebrated Great Divide Brewing Company’s 20th Anniversary with 2,000 of our hop cone compatriots in Denver, CO!
A long, line of craft beer connoisseurs formed on Brighton Boulevard. Cars slowly passed by looking for open parking spaces; patrons cruised in on their two wheelers and entered into the queue for bicycle valet (free courtesy of our friends over at Denver B-Cycle). A line of kegs outlined the entryway with Great Divide staff members donned in their 20th anniversary red shirts and sporting the largest of smiles. They knew what we were in for as we were wrist banded. . .

World Cup Preview Part One: Groups A, B, D, and G
June 12, 2014 | Jason Behler
For soccer junkies like me, today begins the greatest month every four years. The time when the sport known to the rest of the world as futbol dominates highlights of sports networks, even here in the United States. The time when half of the world arrives at work sleep deprived from waking up in the middle of the night to watch their team play. The time when you just hope your boss is alright with you taking off early to swill beer (hopefully of the craft variety) and chant with your fellow countrymen to root on your national team. It is our playoffs and Super Bowl all wrapped up into one month with games on every day. For the soccer junkie, this is our fix — it keeps us going, ups our tolerance, and leaves us wanting more when it is all over. Time to get hooked. Here is the first half of your guide to all of the teams and players, dramatics and theatrics that are the biggest sports spectacle in the sports world, the FIFA World Cup. Read More

Tips for Watching the World Cup
June 9, 2014 | Jason Behler
Having been involved with soccer since I was old enough to kick a ball, I have found it difficult at times to be a soccer fan in the good old U.S. of A. For most of those years, a stigma came with both playing and watching soccer, and it was not a pleasant one. Most of it had to do with people not knowing the game, and America not being at the foreground of the sport. However, in the last decade a soccer playing generation have become adults in America, and with their maturation has come the evolution of soccer as a popular sport to watch. Read More
