I'm actually not all that much of a beer drinker, too rich for me, but my husband is and has traveled the world enjoying the wonderful local-ness of this beverage.  I enjoy wine and whiskey, and we'll have lots more scoop on that later this year. 

Since I'm all about local makers and creators, we are going to share a few local spots that craft adult beverages here in the Prescott area.  

I have not had the pleasure to visit them all personally just yet, but we've got them on a list  to check out soon.  Hopefully you will do the same and share your thoughts. 

We are lucky here in Prescott to have a nice variety of crafters specializing in everything from beer to cider to mead and even whiskey.  We'll get to local wineries in another post...

So, let's get to the list:

Greetings,

Today is a big day for us.  We've officially launched our new brand The Whiskey Porch, which appropriately coincides with National Simplicity Day.  No accident, really.  I wanted to set a goal to work towards and force me not to work it to death, in an attempt to achieve perfection, before hitting the 'launch' button.

That's one thing I've come to learn in life --  perfection will never be achieved, and done is better than perfect.  And, so, here we are!  Happy to be with you and striving full speed ahead to create and share all kinds of ideas and inspiration.

To get us started, I wanted to write just a little bit about two things:  What is The Whiskey Porch all about?  And, why launch on National Simplicity Day?  
​
​

perfect balance  -- whether it be in a craftsman bungalow, a tiny historic cottage, or somewhere yet to be discovered.

So, it's a lot of work to build a website - all by yourself!  I had envisioned having a few articles done by now, but that's not in the cards.

Hang tight, though, because I'm working on a couple drafts and now that I'm able to focus on content that will be my priority.
