Top 5 Things to Watch While Sick
January 23, 2014 | Admin
If your office is anything like mine, when one person gets sick, the germs sweep the whole company like wildfire. No one is left unscathed. Everyone in the department stocks up on airborne and hand sanitizer in a feeble attempt to escape the inevitable. I recently got caught up in an epidemic—fever, chills, sweating uncontrollably, cough, runny nose … the works—and found myself having to stay home two full days in a row. But my loss is your future gain as I have now compiled the “Top 5 Things to Watch While Sick.”
Roundtable: Your Personality in a Beer Bottle
January 22, 2014 | Kathleen Morton
You are what you eat … but what about what you drink? Are you spicy, aggressive or strong? Are you sweet and citrusy? Are you bitter and sour? Maybe you have a few characteristics that overlap. We’ve asked the staff to pick what their beer personality would be if it was bottled up.

NCAA Basketball Midseason Update
January 20, 2014 | Josh Buchanan
As many have expected, things at the top have experienced somewhat of a shakedown. The Buckeyes have lost 3 in a row after being one of the few remaining undefeated teams. They’ve recently suffered losses to Michigan State and Minnesota on the road and Iowa at home. OSU will look to get back on track against Nebraska on Monday for their second win against the Cornhuskers this season.
Beerstagrams 1/10-1/17
January 17, 2014 | Lizzie Bourque
Polar Vortex? Psh. PorchDrinkers made sure that the important things were in the fridge before the deep freeze set in across the Midwest and East Coast. And when the temperature finally rose above zero again, it felt balmy enough to enjoy a Hopslam in the snow! A trip to Mad Tree Brewing also helped warm the soul with samples of their finest creations, including psychopathy (get it, psyc-hop-athy). Make sure to tune in next week for some extra special beerstagrams of the New Belgium brewery!

PorchDrinking Playlist: The Hangover Playlist
January 14, 2014 | Tristan Chan
We’ve all had those mornings where we’ve crawled out of bed cursing the day we allow another drop of alcohol to poison our lips. Those days are usually wrought with lying around in bed, double digit cups of coffee, Paula Dean levels of lard laden food and a mix of chill but purposeful tunes to inspire and wrench us out of the drudgery. Here is a hangover playlist of beautifully laid back songs for just those occasions. So kick back, take a deep breath and begin to recoup from New Years, Vail Big Beers Belgians and Barleywines or just that random bender you had this past weekend

How Is That Legal?! Legalizing Marijuana
January 13, 2014 | Tristan Chan 3
*Now that purchasing marijuana has officially become legalized in Colorado we thought we’d re-visit one of our favorite posts from last year with a few extra additions. With all the hubbub about legalizing marijuana we looked at a few other things that are legal that probably shouldn’t be.*
Please let it be known that we intentionally tend to avoid discussing politics on PorchDrinking unless it involves parody, humor or, more commonly, drinking games. And this election season has certainly provided many such opportunities.

2014 is here, and there is already plenty going on in the pop culture scene.
The Changing Faces of Late Night
January 9, 2014 | Christian Bolen Walker 5
2014 is going to be a year of change. We might see a human organ produced by a 3-D printer, nations rise and fall, and hopefully the retirement of Justin Bieber. Despite these impressive technological and cultural milestones, there is an even greater transformation facing our nation – nay, the world. Yes, even greater than The Biebs playing shuffle board.
