Review: Roughtail Brewing Company Oats N’ Ho’s Pale Ale

Here’s another hoppy brewery only offering from Roughtail. Oats n’ Ho’s is referring to the “ton of oats and Idaho 7 hops” involved in the brewing. Looks like this may be a fall only seasonal and probably a brewery only release, so make your way out to Midwest City if you’d like to try a […]

Review: American Solera Sherry Barrel Western Culture

I enjoyed the regular oak barrel aged Western Culture, and I enjoy a sherry barrel aged beer, so I should be in for a treat. The same base beer as Western Culture, run through the same coolship, but aged in a single Oloroso Sherry cask for at least 18 months. Super limited, only 85 cases […]

Review: Elk Valley Schank!

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 […]

Review: American Solera Western Culture

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 […]

Review: Roughtail Brewing Company Session IPA

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 […]

Review: American Solera Raspbarrel

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 […]

Review: American Solera Bluebarrel

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 American Solera Society Launch Party was last night and it was amazing to see all those people flocking to the old home of Prairie Artisan Ales in Tulsa […]

REVIEW: ROUGHTAIL PATERNALISM IPA

What a wonderful day for Oklahoma beer culture. 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 […]

Review: Roughtail Adaptation IPA (Batch #5, August 2016)

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 […]

Review: Anthem Brewing Co. OK Pils

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 […]
