With all of the great breweries producing beer in this state of ours, I’m surprised we haven’t seen more Imperial IPAs. A flagship for many of the great breweries across the country, I’m glad to see one brewed right here in Oklahoma. Make sure to check out our field trip to Iron Monk as well as […]
Read more "Review: Iron Monk Payne County Imperial IPA"The second in Roughtail’s quarterly rotating IPAs, it is packaged in 16 oz cans and again features the adaptable gecko on the can. This was created with all wet Mosaic hops that were on the bine 24 hours before they hit the brew kettle! Throw in a ton of dry hopping (again with wet hops) and an […]
Read more "Review: Roughtail Adaptation IPA (Batch #2, 2015)"Attractively packaged in a 500 ml bottle, I was interested in seeing what Elk Valley would do with a Bretted farmhouse. Turned out to be a perfect beer to drink during an OU game as we say adios to summer. Company: OKCITY Brewing Company Location: Oklahoma City, OK ABV: 6.2% Style/Description: Saison Price: $7 (500 ml) Appearance: […]
Read more "Review: Elk Valley Le Ferme Farmhouse Ale"I’ve been following this brewery since its inception and await all of their new releases. I may be a bit of a homer since this is Norman’s craft brewery, and I was in Cub/Boy Scouts with Jonathan and went to middle school with Trae! The glass in the picture was from one of their first […]
Read more "Review: 405 Trae P.A."Hey! It’s the first joint beer review here at Barrels and Mash! For this one, Justin and Kris sat down with a bottle of Anthem’s Wild Brew Tripel. We got this bottle to review a couple days before our super fun Anthem Field Trip and finally got a chance to crack it open and take it […]
Read more "Review: Anthem Wild Brew Tripel"Our first review from Mustang, one of the breweries from the first wave in the OK craft beer renaissance. I enjoy a good session IPA, and have happily been enjoying the mighty All Day IPA from Founders since it has been available here in Oklahoma. I look forward to reviewing some of the other brews […]
Read more "Review: Mustang Tractor Therapy IPA"Another purchase from my recent Saturday stop at the COOP Brewery, this time a blackberry fruited saison, taken home in a 32 oz crowler. I didn’t have time to drink it right away, so I was a little worried about the carb. It was pretty foamy as it got filled, but Charlie Sheldon got a […]
Read more "Review: COOP Blackberry Saison"COOP has opened up its brewery for tours on Saturdays (1-5 pm), and is unveiling a patio area with tables, horseshoes, and cornhole. Of course there is beer available. The full strength stuff is available for free, small sample pours, and they usually have something interesting and unique to try. Last time I went there was […]
Read more "Review: COOP Raspberry Saison"In a tribute to Oklahoma original Woody Guthrie and his legendary “This Machine Kills Fascists” guitar, Marshall came out with a year round Belgian-Style IPA. Company: Marshall Brewing Company Location: Tulsa, OK ABV: 7.8% ABV Style/Description: Belgian-Style India Pale Ale Price: $10 (6-pack) Appearance: Deep copper red pour, lightly cloudy.

Read more "Review: Marshall This Machine IPA"The mostly absurd and antiquated alcohol laws of Oklahoma pose a few interesting challenges for local businesses, namely that the breweries in the state want something that can be sold in grocery and convenience stores, as well as growler fills at the brewery so they come up with some impressive 3.2 offerings. I stopped by the Prairie Artisan Ales […]
