Beerstagrams 8/2-8/9
August 9, 2013 | Lizzie Bourque
If you’re looking for something to help those mundane chores feel a little more exciting- look no further. Mowing the Lawn? Pick up a Wolf Among Weeds IPA from Golden Road Brewing and you might find yourself actually enjoying the outdoors. Gardening? Avery’s Barrel-Aged Wild Ale brewed with Chardonnay grapes can turn any occasion into a fancy affair. Sweeping the porch? Nah. Forget that. You’re better off sitting down with good company and a Bell’s Two Hearted. Whatever you need to accomplish this weekend, we hope you find the perfect craft beer companion to help you through it. Happy Friday, PorchDrinkers!

Faking Adulthood | Frantic Speed Cleaning
August 5, 2013 | Kate Stark
Crap! People are coming over in 30 minutes and your apartment looks more like a hobbit hole than anything a human could inhabit. It’s bad enough if your friends have it relatively together—maybe they are married but don’t have kids, so their home is all crafty and hasn’t yet turned into a war zone— but if this is a potential love interest… well, there really is nothing like the fear that your crush will discover that you’re actually a horrible slob to make a girl go into a cleaning frenzy.
Regardless, you have a very limited amount of time to clean up and make your place look habitable before your guests arrive and discover your messy little secret. Here are some tips on frantic speed cleaning, from my own personal experience. Read More
New Faces Atop MLB Standings
August 5, 2013 | Mike Zoller
What if I told you that on July 31st the two best teams in baseball were both in the National League Central? What if I told you that the two teams were the Pittsburgh Pirates and the St. Louis Cardinals? You might expect the Cardinals but it finally looks like the Pirates will keep it together for an entire season. Major League Baseball is facing a lot of issues but new teams at the top of the MLB standings are definitely a positive.

Awesomesauce Double Helping- Cooking Comically and Thug Kitchen
August 1, 2013 | Laura Mego 1
While I LOVE most typical food blogs (really, what else is Pinterest for, besides clicking on a recipe and then falling down a rabbit hole in the internet and reading about every fatteningly delicious looking dish that blogger has ever made?) they can tend to get a little cookie cutter (“Hi, I’m Jennifer/Sally/Sandy, a stay-at-home mother of two ADORABLE munchkins, and I love to cook!”) That’s why I find both of the below food blogs so entertaining- they’re SO not in that mold. (Fair warning, there is some, uh, *salty* language to follow…) Read More

PorchDrinking Playlist | Summer Music Festivals
July 30, 2013 | Josh Buchanan
Throughout the land, kids, parents, adults (and the rest of us) are coming to terms that summer is more than half over. Don’t despair, my friends, we still have plenty of sunshine and good times to go around. In today’s PD Playlist, I will be sharing some of my favorite artists from this year’s summer music festivals (Coachella, Xponential, Americanarama) that overlap and will also be gracing the presence of some 100,000 dancing maniacs this weekend in Chicago at Lollapalooza.
