Beerstagrams 12/27- 1/3
January 3, 2014 | Lizzie Bourque
Can’t decide which beer to order? That’s what flights are for! The holidays are the season for overindulging and overordering, and although we’re now into the season of buying-a-gym-membership-only-to-go-twice-in-January-and-bail, we made sure to test out all the craft beers we could this December. New Denver brewery, Station 26 and legendary Ann Arbor staple Ashley’s Pub both made our taste buds happy with samples of their best winter offerings. But it wouldn’t be the holidays without the token “beer by the Christmas tree” pic, so don’t worry we threw a few in there for ya.
Pop Culture Week in Review: December 28, 2013 – January 3, 2014
January 3, 2014 | Drew Troller
2013 is over. So long to Grumpy Cat, Breaking Bad mania, and jokes about Manti Te’o. There’s new pop culture in a new year. Let’s recap this New Year’s Week with the pop culture week in review.
Oh, and no I will not be talking about New Year’s Eve coverage like Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin (pictured above). Because that is the stupidest programming ever and it is always terrible. ANYWAY…. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Roundtable Discussion: Beers that are no longer brewed
December 18, 2013 | Kathleen Morton
“We are sorry for your loss.” That loss being beer that is no longer on the market or being produced. Chances are our parents and grandparents know that loss better than we do, but some of us know what it’s like to love certain beers and then lose them. Here is a list of some that we miss.
PorchDrinking Playlist: Snow Songs
December 17, 2013 | Tristan Chan
As children, we’d pull out all the stops when it came to the potential of a snow day. I often think back to countless nights I spent donning pj’s that had been flipped inside out huddled around the window scoping out those first flakes as they caught the glimmer of the street light outside of my house. Because seeing those flittering white flecks meant the sure possibility that we’d be granted a much needed reprieve from school the next day. What followed often resulted in a tribal dance channeled directly to the snow gods to bring the proverbial frozen rain. This playlist of snow songs is devoted to the inner child in us in hopes of a safe and snowy December.

You want to know Hollywood? I’ll show you Hollywood.
