Governor Mary Fallin signed into law today SB424 and SB383, marking a giant shake up in the Oklahoma craft beer scene. These bills have been in the works for years, passed in May by the Oklahoma House and Senate and signed by the Governor today. Barrels and Mash has not reported much on these bills, […]
Read more "SB 424 and SB 383 Signed By Governor Fallin Today"Oklahoma City is a freaking crazy place right now. We’ve got bridges falling down, we can’t afford to pay school teachers, but hot damn we are getting some fun new places to eat and drink. Every month it seems like we’ve got a new, super hip restaurant opening up which is great because eating things is […]
Read more "There’s a bangin’ new Bourbon bar in OKC"Today is the anniversary of the first post here on Barrels and Mash, so I thought it would be nice to celebrate it by revisiting the history of why our little project here got started. Given that I love to ramble, this probably won’t be a short and sweet version of it either, so grab a nice […]
Read more "For the Love of Booze: The History of Barrels and Mash"Rejoice, it’s time for a new version of Roughtail’s rotating Adaptation IPA series! Batch 4 was canned just a couple of days ago on May 17th and is another East Coast IPA. This time, however, it’s an East Coast IPA hopped with pure Southern Hemisphere hops which comes at a time where we are all […]
Read more "Review: Roughtail Adaptation IPA (Batch #4, May 2016)"An interesting choice for barrel aging, Anthem’s Golden One gets the “Golden One + Bourbon Barrels + Time” treatment. The non-barrel aged version is a fairly delicate beer, this should be an unusual one for us to review. Company: Anthem Brewing Company Location: Oklahoma City, OK ABV: 8.9% Style/Description: Ale Aged in Bourbon Barrels Price: $12 for […]
Read more "Review: Anthem Bourbon Barrel Golden One"There aren’t many beers that I buy over and over again just to make sure I always have some in the fridge…actually, to be exact, there’s currently only one: Elk Valley’s Pale Ale. I’ve been a huge fan of this brew for a while now, and I just realized that I’ve never given it a […]
Read more "Review: Elk Valley Pale Ale"Alright, it’s been a while since I had an oatmeal stout, it’s usually a style I can get behind. I didn’t start a bender with this over bacon and eggs, but I can use my imagination. Company: Dead Armadillo Craft Brewing Location: Tulsa, OK ABV: 5.82% ABV Style/Description: Coffee Oatmeal Stout Price: $9 (22 oz. […]
Read more "Review: Dead Armadillo Morning Bender"A rare India Pale Ale from the good folks at Prairie Artisan Ales! I love the label on this, very spooky. Before now, Phantasmagoria was only available in a very limited amount on draft only. Mostly in Tulsa too, lucky stiffs. Anyway, I’m looking forward to digging in to Prairie’s first double IPA. Company: Prairie […]
Read more "Review: Prairie Artisan Ales Phantasmagoria"Next Thursday, April 7th, marks repeal day here in Oklahoma. It’s crazy to think that Prohibition lasted until 1959 in this state, and on the 57th anniversary of that great day there will be some cool things going down at Oak & Ore in the Plaza district. The Craft Brewers Association of Oklahoma will be […]
Read more "Repeal Day with The CBAO at Oak & Ore"Oh boy, I love me some Pirate Bomb. I love running around town trying to scrounge up a case with two bottle limits. I love emailing trade partners with the exciting news. I love putting a few back for later in the year, and drinking the first one the night I get home. I drank […]
