Review: Elk Valley Pale Ale

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 […]

Review: Dead Armadillo Morning Bender

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. […]

Review: Prairie Artisan Ales Phantasmagoria

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 […]

Review: Roughtail Everything Rhymes With Orange IPA

Ok, so this is kind of an odd thing to review. Why? Well we’ve kind of already reviewed it. Back in January, Roughtail released Batch 3 of their rotating Adaptation Series IPA and I reviewed it here. Well, much like us, everyone went pretty ape shit over how good that beer was and, being the […]

Review: New Holland Beer Barrel Aged Bourbon

Here at Barrels and Mash, we drink our fair share of Bourbon barrel-aged beers… in fact, we drink some other people’s fair share too. Obviously we can say the same for Bourbon, so when New Holland dumped barrels of their Bourbon Barrel-Aged Dragon’s Milk Stout and refilled them with whiskey, we wanted to drink that […]

Review: Elk Valley Experimental Imperial IPA Batch 2

Oh, a single hop double IPA made from a brand new experimental hop? Great! According to the brewery it is a new hop from the Pacific Northwest called 07270. This is a single hop brew, no other hops were used. There are 4 pounds per barrel! I’ve heard a few whispers that this isn’t your […]

Barrels and Mash Field Trip: 405 Brewing

You know normally these fields trips are pretty easy to write. We go to the brewery, I feel kind of awkward because I’m there in some kind of a weird journalistic capacity like I know what I’m doing (I don’t), then I go home and know exactly what I’m going to say when I sit […]

Anthem Bourbon Barrel Uroburos Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical

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 […]

Review: Prairie Artisan Ales Branson Jamboree

A new BA stout from Prairie? Sign me up! It looks like only 50-ish cases of this were released between Oklahoma and Missouri, so it wasn’t the easiest thing in the world to find. Most were lucky to get a single bottle (myself included) which makes me sad, but hey, it’s just beer, right? Company: […]

Review: Dead Armadillo Inland Porter

I’ve lived in Oklahoma pretty much all of my life, and I have to say, it’s not a bad place to be. We’ve got the claim to some real national treasures including Reba McEntire, Shannon Miller, Brat Pitt, Chris Gains, and of course, Hanson. Those kids that sang “MMMBop” all those years ago are now all […]
