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 […]
Read more "Review: Anthem Brewing Co. OK Pils"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"Anthem just released Batch 2 of their Uroburos Stout aged in Bourbon Barrels (Elijah Craig barrels, to be exact), and to be honest we are very excited. This is Anthem’s largest bottle release to date, by a large margin, with almost 5,000 bottles rolling out of the Downtown OKC brewery. We were hanging out in their taproom […]
Read more "Anthem Bourbon Barrel Uroburos Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical"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"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"I’ve been holding on to an extra rare bottle of the Batch 1 Babalon (release in 2014) for a special occasion. Apparently that special occasion is Kris texting me and saying that we should drink it together. So we did! We popped a 2015 Batch 2 as well for comparison. 2015 saw a much wider release […]
Read more "Anthem Babalon Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical Tasting"Ah Pappy Burleson. This beer is named for Randy Burleson, and huge supporter of the Oklahoma craft beer scene from way back, and pretty much one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. When I saw an Instagram post a few weeks back showing them slapping labels on the new batch I got incredibly excited. […]
Read more "Review: Anthem Pappy Burleson (2016)"Updated 12/27/2015: Tasting notes from 12/20/15 and 12/27/15 are below. We revisited Festivus a week after the original review and holy crap is this beer already developing into the delightful treat we remembered from last year. Ah the holidays, time for spending too much money, over eating, and drinking lots of things filled with spices […]
Read more "Review: Anthem Festivus"So it’s December, we know, but we didn’t get around to writing up any local Octoberfest beers when they hit the shelves, so better late than never right? These beers made for great companions while watching this year’s OU/OSU game. COOP ALE WORKS Oktoberfest Long available seasonally on draft only, the classic COOP Oktoberfest has made […]
Read more "Oktoberfest Showdown"Heck yeah a barrel aged quad from Anthem, and aged in used Festivus barrels, no less. I was uplifted by the inspirational words about the “Domestique,” the team player who only cares about the benefit of the group, and also uplifted by this boozy 10% ABV gem. Get your hands on one immediately if you […]
