I was a little surprised to see COOP trying out a pilsner, I believe this is their first wide lager? Usually I don’t get too excited about a pilsner, but a dry-hopped pilsner is another matter altogether. Let’s see what COOP can do with these Idaho 7 and Comet hops. Company: COOP Ale Works Location: […]
Read more "COOP ALE WORKS Saturday Siren Dry-Hopped Pils"I dropped by the brewery last week to drop off some empty kegs that Will at COOP was kind enough to donate for an event I had for work.

Read more "COOP ALE WORKS The Dagobah Citra East Coast Double IPA"I’ve been hearing rumors about interesting COOP experiments with barrel aged DNR for years, and was intrigued to see this pop up on the shelf. It is attractively packaged in a thick 375 ml corked and caged bottle and handsomely printed directly on the glass, a great new look for COOP. I like to see […]

Read more "Review: COOP Ale Works Native Amber"Here at Barrels and Mash we’ve decided to go back to some of our favorite Oklahoma brews that came out before we started this blog and give them a review. Our one-year anniversary has come and gone and perhaps it makes one think about old friends. Today we have one of my go-to beers, my favorite to drink at concerts at venues like the Opolis and a great choice for burgers, pizza or tacos. I found a fresh-ish 14 day-old can and got to reviewing.
Read more "Review: COOP Ale Works F5 IPA"Barrels and Mash recently hung out with Eric and Jeff from COOP and got to hear about all the great updates from the brewery, including the release of their newest Territorial Reserve Barleywine, unavailable now for several years. The base recipe is the same as the 2012 batch, and per Eric the recipe includes “probably a ton […]
Read more "Review: COOP Territorial Reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged Barleywine (and some COOP updates)"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"Another purchase from my recent Saturday stop at the COOP Brewery, this time a blackberry fruited saison, taken home in a 32 oz crowler. I didn’t have time to drink it right away, so I was a little worried about the carb. It was pretty foamy as it got filled, but Charlie Sheldon got a […]
Read more "Review: COOP Blackberry Saison"COOP has opened up its brewery for tours on Saturdays (1-5 pm), and is unveiling a patio area with tables, horseshoes, and cornhole. Of course there is beer available. The full strength stuff is available for free, small sample pours, and they usually have something interesting and unique to try. Last time I went there was […]
Read more "Review: COOP Raspberry Saison"COOP Ale Works has been producing some great Oklahoma beer for years now. Last week Justin and I got the chance to hang out and drink a few with JD, co-founder and owner, and discuss where the brewery has been and where it’s going.
