Saturday was a fun day. We started it off by hitting the morning session at COOP Ale Work’s 7th Anniversary party. We drank some tiny beers, ate some Kaiteki Ramen, and talked to some good people. Then it was Tulsa time. Travis, owner and brewer at Nothing’s Left Brewing Co., was nice enough to invite us […]
Read more "Barrels and Mash Field Trip: Nothing’s Left Beer Tasting"Sold only at the Maker’s Mark gift shop, this cask strength expression of Maker’s 46 was released in Fall of 2015 and is sold in 375ml bottles with zero shits given in regards to the label, which is white with plain black text. You would think a company that dips all their bottles in colored wax […]
Read more "Review: Maker’s 46 Cask Strength"Maker’s Mark made only one product for around 50 years before adding a second expression to their offerings. Maker’s 46 was released in 2010, and it’s the same whiskey as normal Maker’s with the only difference: an extra aging process. The whiskey is dumped at the same time as the normal expression (at around 5 or […]
Read more "Review: Maker’s 46"The new batch of Brandy Barrel Uroboros just hit the shelves this week, so we anxiously busted a bottle of last year’s release out of the cellar and got to drinking! Last year this release out shined the Bourbon barrel variation (which is crazy for me to say, but it’s true) so we were pumped […]
Read more "Anthem Brandy Barrel Uroburos Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical"A recent TTB label approval is sending waves through the community of Bourbon lovers and their future bank accounts as this label shows Diageo is most likely planing to release a 24 year-old single barrel Bourbon under the Blade and Bow label. The Bourbon looks to be distilled at the mythological Stitzel-Weller Distillery in 1991, the […]
Read more "Some Stitzel-Weller juice is on its way, start selling everything you own!"Prairie’s second brewery-only release, Trogdor sold out incredibily quickly and since we were in Kansas City for the release, we totally missed out. Luckily there are amazing people on this planet like Freddy of Craft & Barrel and Chris of The Fur Shop (Trogdor is actually his cat) who hooked us up with a bottle for this review. Thanks, guys! […]
Read more "Review: Prairie Artisan Ales Cherry Trogdor"Kate and I were out of town for Valentine’s Day last weekend, so we are celebrating it a week late and I decided it would be fun to start off the festivities with a line up of Dry Hopped Sour Ales. Prairie’s Funky Gold Simcoe (FGS) just came out a couple of days ago, then […]
Read more "Dry Hopped Sour Showdown"I woke up this morning thinking I wanted to write a bit ‘ol thing about all the Oklahoma alcohol law reform and the recent Budweiser ad campaigns, but then I looked over at The Thirsty Beagle and he is doing a perfectly fine job at it. Its getting decent shares on Facebook, and honestly I’ve been kind […]
Read more "The Anheuser-Busch Shit Show"Ah things from whiskey barrels, those barrels really do make everything better. After the Barrels and Mash team had a meeting to go over the first official event we will be a part of (tease, tease, details will come later), we decided it would be fun to crack some Anthems and discuss future ventures. Justin, […]
Read more "Anthem Pappy Burleson Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical Tasting"Man, I’ve been meaning to write this one for a long time, just look at that pic, the grass was green when I took it for this review! Well today seems like an appropriate to drink and write about Stranhan’s given that it’s produced in Denver and the Broncos are playing in the Super Bowl […]
