This has been a beer I’ve been wanting to write about for a while. For some reason there has always been something special about this one in my mind. The excitement and mystery may be due to the facts that until very recently it’s been draft only, it’s got a cool name (inspired by German […]
Read more "Review: Elk Valley Schank!"Of course I had to sign up for Oklahoma’s first beer society. This the first of the subscription batch that I’ve been able to try, and I’ll be tasting the Sherry barrel aged version as well. According to American Solera, this is a lambic inspired beer, run through a coolship and aged at least 18 […]
Read more "Review: American Solera Western Culture"When visiting Roughtail for 424 Day last week I realized that I have managed to miss trying their Session IPA, a 3.2% offering only available at the brewery. I filled up a growler for the review at home. Company: Roughtail Brewing Co. Location: Midwest City, OK ABV: 4.0% Style/Description: Session India Pale Ale Price: $6.00 […]
Read more "Review: Roughtail Brewing Company Session IPA"It seems like only a few short hours ago I was sipping on a Bluebarrel and writing about the first ever brewery society in Oklahoma…ok so it was only a few hours ago…shut up. This day has been full of Kate and I working our way through the American Solera lineup from the first release […]
Read more "Review: American Solera Raspbarrel"To be honest when we started Barrels and Mash last year I never expected to be writing about brewery-only releases this soon, much less society-only releases.

The Barrels and Mash crew made a small circuit of OKC breweries to celebrate the first day of SB 424 taking effect. First up we visited Roughtail in Midwest City where a long line of thirsty drinkers braved intermittent rain to sample their brewery only offerings. News […]
Read more "REVIEW: ROUGHTAIL PATERNALISM IPA"Many Oklahomans have become armchair lawyers and lobbyists in the last few months due to the huge amount of attention that the state’s alcohol law reform discussions have been getting.

Read more "424 is gonna taste so good"Summers in Oklahoma are hot as balls. That’s why we all need delicious, refreshing beers and summer-y cocktails to cool us down and take the edge off. Trae and Jonathan down at 405 Brewing Co. in Norman are attempting to aid in that battle with the heat by releasing “Cool For the Summer”, a “simple […]
Read more "Review: 405 Cool For The Summer"Roughtail’s Adaptation IPA series has become quite the thing here in Oklahoma. Those damn “beer geeks” start going apeshit when Roughtail social media posts start hitting with pics of empty cans ready to be filled. Why? Well, because the dudes over at Roughtail make some bad ass IPAs, and the Adaptation series seems to be their outlet […]
Read more "Review: Roughtail Adaptation IPA (Batch #5, August 2016)"Anthem goes for a pilsner this time around, hoping to catch that summer lake crowd no doubt. We thought this would be a good one to review for the Fourth of July, an American take on the classic pilsner style from our friends at Anthem. I need to get to some fireworks, so on to […]
