Welcome to National IPA Day!
Founded in 2011 by beer evangelists and social media personalities Ashley Routson and Ryan Ross, IPA Day is a universal movement created to unite the voices of craft beer enthusiasts, bloggers, and brewers worldwide, using social media as the common arena for connecting the conversation together.
IPA Day is not the brainchild of a corporate marketing machine, nor is it meant to serve any particular beer brand. IPA Day is opportunity for all breweries, bloggers, businesses and consumers to connect and share their love of craft beer. It is an opportunity for the entire craft beer culture to combine forces and advocate craft beer through increased education and global awareness.
Getting involved is easy; the only requirements are an appreciation for great beer and the will to spread the word. Anyone can participate by enjoying IPA with friends, making some noise online with the #IPADay hashtag, and showing the world that craft beer is more than a trend.
How to Participate in IPA Day
1. Organize an IPA Day event at your brewery, brewpub, restaurant, bar, bottle shop, home, or office. Share your events Post your events to the CraftBeer.com Event Calendar.
2. On August 2nd, share your photos, videos, blog posts, tasting notes, recipes, and thoughts with the world. Be sure to tag your posts on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, and other social media platforms with #IPADay hashtag.
3. See what other people are saying on Twitter by searching “#IPADay” at: search.twitter.com. Follow the conversation closely by adding an #IPADay search column on your Tweetdeck.
4. Become a craft beer steward in your community. Encourage non-craft beer drinkers to take a break from their normal beverage routine and join the collective toast on August 2nd. Set the goal of converting at least one person, if not the whole world of drinkers, into an IPA lover!

Michael Porter Jr Cuts List to 10; Syracuse Makes the Cut (aseaofblue.com; Hodges)
Are we really getting excited about a recruit that is heading into his junior year of high school?
Of course Kentucky fans are. The No. 2-overall recruit in the high school class of 2017 and top small forward of the class Michael PorterJr has just narrowed his list of schools in the bidding for his signing to ten; Kentucky is still in the running!
Porter's list is now down to Missouri, Stanford, Indiana, UCLA, Syracuse, Washington, Virginia, Kansas, Duke and, yours truly, Kentucky.
Porter is a 6'9" 205 lb small forward from Columbia, Missouri; currently attending Father Tolton Catholic High School. Porter's brother, also named Michael Porter, is a member of the class of 2018 and is already a verbal commit to the Washington Huskies. This has led many to believe that Porter Jr. could likely pick Washington.
We're still likely a year or so away from Porter actually making his college decision. The list is at ten, expect that number to consistently go down as the year goes on. Kentucky will likely be in the running for Porter Jr's talents all the way until the end, whether he commits to UK or not. John Calipari will make sure of that.
Hamidou Diallo Has Been Hearing a Lot From Syracuse, Gets Kansas Offer (thejuice; Cheng)
Starting with basketball, the line is getting awfully long for 2017 combo guard HamidouDiallo. Kansas is the latest to jump into the Diallo sweepstakes according to SNY.tv’s very own, Adam Zagoria. Diallo also holds offers from UConn, Florida, Villanova, Maryland, Louisville, N.C. State, Indiana, Seton Hall, Iowa State, UMass, Minnesota and Providence. He has not received an offer from Syracuse yet, but At their request, this network is being blocked from this site.’s Brian Snow reports that Diallo has been hearing a lot from the Orange. “They want me to make an unofficial visit for their elite camp,” Diallo said. “I would hang out with the coaches and get to know them, so I might do that.”
Staying with the class of 2017, Syracuse is still in the hunt for Michael Porter Jr. The five-star forward put the Orange in his top 10 along with Washington, Duke, Missouri, Stanford, Kentucky, UCLA, Syracuse, Indiana, Kansas and Virginia.
Another story that Zagoria has been tracking is the recruitment of Kassoum Yakwe. The 6-foot-7, 205 pound wing from Our Savior New American will be taking an official visit to St. John’s from Aug. 13-15. When I spoke to Yakwe last year, he said thatSyracuse was one of the schools that was pursuing him the most, and the Orange is one of his 18 offers according to 247 Sports. But Yakwe will either enroll in college in the 2015 cycle or take a year in prep school and matriculate in 2016. Either way, given Syracuse’s scholarship crunch, it’s hard to see him landing in Orange.
