This one time in Ithaca, NY…
Yep, that’s how it started—a cabin reservation that would have otherwise gone to waste. At the time, Coop and Keith weren’t even particularly close friends. They had no idea that trip would evolve into a deep friendship, a decade-long beer journey across the United States, and ultimately, something much bigger than themselves.
After 10+ years, 46 states, and more than 1,200 breweries, Porch Beers USA is evolving into a nonprofit organization with a simple mission.
Our Misson
Travel. Connect. Give Back.
Every brewery has a story. Every community has needs. Porch Beers USA brings people together… one pint at a time.
Our Story
There was no business plan, no brand strategy, and no roadmap for what Porch Beers would become. Just two friends chasing great beer, better stories, and four simple goals:
Have fun
Give back
Do a collab
Maybe someday turn it into a revenue stream
After thousands of miles and even more beers, they realized Porch Beers wasn’t just a hobby anymore. Everywhere they went, the same thing happened: strangers became friends, beers became conversations, and breweries became connections to communities.
And the porch? Well, that became wherever you’re sharing a beer.
About two years ago, they found a new way to turn those connections into impact. They began partnering with local breweries to create collaboration beers where a portion of the proceeds goes directly to local nonprofits. The response confirmed what they’d already learned on the road: people love gathering around a good cause almost as much as they love gathering around a good beer.
Now, Porch Beers USA is evolving into a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting local communities through craft beer partnerships. It’s not about getting rich—it’s about doing good, having fun, and building something meaningful.
As Porch Beers USA grows, so does its commitment to community impact.
Meet the Founders
Keith
Conversations often start with Coop – but Keith turns those conversations into beer friends they visit again and again. He keeps the wheels turning (literally and figuratively), handling the planning, logistics, social media, and brewery outreach that make Porch Beers adventures look easy. And he’s the one who keeps those beer friends coming back.
Coop
Coop has a gift for talking to anyone, anywhere, about anything—and usually does. His enthusiasm and natural ability to strike up a conversation help turn strangers into friends before the pint is empty. He believes the porch always has room for one more chair. And he’s the one who keeps those friendships growing on the porch.
Together, Keith and Coop balance each other perfectly. If Keith keeps the wheels turning, Coop helps fill the porch. No egos, no arguments—just two friends who have spent the last decade building something better together by traveling, connecting, and giving back.
More communities. More opportunities to make a difference.
The porch is getting bigger—and everyone’s invited.
