Prairie has been overwhelming us with good beer lately. In a similar vein to May’s Americana, this “farmhouse ale brewed with Cascade and Citra hops, and a touch of sea salt” is another entry in Prairie’s long, proud line of farmhouse saisons. Handsome 500ml bottle with a new Prairie logo on the label. Company: Prairie […]
Read more "Review: Prairie Artisan Ales Brett C"First off, this isn’t the easiest bourbon in the world to figure out. We know that James E. Pepper was a real dude that used to make bourbon in the 1800s and we know the distillery he used is now the Woodford Reserve distillery. The brand made it to this side of prohibition, but was […]
Read more "Review: James E. Pepper 1776"It’s been a bit since the last Willows Family ale, so I was eagerly anticipating this one. The promise of Citra and Brett makes me feel all frisky. As always I’m allured and repulsed by the crazy Willows label art. On to the beer. Company: Willows Family Ales Location: Tulsa, OK ABV: 10% Style/Description: Farmhouse […]
Read more "Review: The Willows Family Ales Funk in the Trunk"It is summertime again, and nothing goes better with a pool and 90 degree temperatures than a nicely chilled Gose. Now a very trendy style in the craft beer world, Choc was on the vanguard of the style’s recent resurgence. When Choc first released this brew in 750 ml bottles several years ago, there were […]
Read more "Review: Choc Gose"A buddy of mine had been after me for a while to let him try the bottle of E.H. Taylor Cured Oak I was lucky enough to get, so when our schedules finally aligned and we decided to make a tasting event of the whole thing (because why drink one bourbon when you can drink five).

Read more "Review: Orphan Barrel Forged Oak"I.W. Harper Bourbon has been around for a long time. It was founded in the 1879 by Isaac Wolfe and Bernard Bernheim and has pretty much been around ever since. For some reason (I guess to have a less German-sounding name) they decided to go with Harper instead of Bernheim when naming it and I.W. Harper […]
Read more "Review: I.W. Harper 15 Year"One off Imperial Stout aged in Tequila barrels. It should be interesting to see what Prairie does with the tequila barrels, having only tried their draft only Tequila Barrel Aged Branson Jamboree in the past. I’m a little nervous. Be gentle, OK-Si. Company: Prairie Artisan Ales Location: Tulsa, OK. Brewed in Krebs, OK ABV: 12% […]
Read more "Review: Prairie Artisan Ales OK-Si"Late last year Brown-Foreman announced they will be building a $30 million distillery on Whiskey Row in downtown Louisville. Not far behind was the announcement of the “Old Forester Whiskey Row Series”, a new line of Old Forester releases consisting of four expressions. This is the first. Let’s hear what they have to say about it. […]
Read more "Review: Old Forester 1870"Anthem Brewing Company is putting out some really great beers here in Oklahoma. They have a fantastic focus on barrel aged releases that rarely disappoint, and they bring some different things to the table compared to other local breweries that make them a bit more accessible to those that don’t want big and strong beers, but just […]
Read more "Review: Anthem IPA"I’ve had a fair amount of Maker’s Mark in my day. Any time I’m at my Dad’s house, there is always a 1.75 liter bottle above the fridge. It’s the only bourbon he drinks, and if I’m there, it’s what I’m drinking too. I’ve tried to get him to branch out a bit by gifting […]
