I loved this one when it came out originally, it was one of the first sour beers I tried and actually liked. Now I can’t get enough. I really should call my credit card company and tell them to block Craft Beer Kings. The original batch disappeared quickly at home, and it seemed that it […]
Read more "Review: Prairie Artisan Ales Prairie Somewhere (Collaboration with Saint Somewhere)"You know what they say about first impressions… I can’t really remember exactly, but I think it’s something about how first impressions are important. I found that to be a bit of a problem in my experience with Roughtail as the first beer I had by them was their 12th Round Strong Ale and I just […]
Read more "Review: Roughtail IPA"Imperial stout aged in Jamaican rum barrels is music to my ears. I generally enjoy the crazy flavors that a rum barrel can impart, and I enjoy that a brewery in my home state loves to experiment with this style. I’ve sorely missed this brew since its first appearance in 750 ml bottles. Let’s dig […]
Read more "Review: Prairie Artisan Ales Pirate Noir"I’ve been a big fan of COOP’s Territorial Reserve series since its inception. In fact, the first beer that I ever cellared was the initial 2010 release of that beer. It’s still in there, I should probably drink it at this point… Anyway, I heard about the chance to try this great brew on tap at […]
Read more "Review: COOP Territorial Reserve Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee Imperial Stout"As I’ve started writing about bourbon and reading more and more posts and comment threads I’ve noticed an odd trend: people love to talk shit on Woodford Reserve. I don’t know why, I’ve always found Woodford to be a solid bourbon, is it just because it’s so popular which makes it “not cool” to like, or do […]
Read more "Review: Woodford Reserve Double Oaked Single Barrel Oklahoma #5"The first in Roughtail’s quarterly rotating IPAs, it is packaged in 16 oz cans and features the adaptable gecko on the can. I’m a little jealous of their brewers, they’ll get to work on different IPAs 4 times a year. Pick up a 4-pack while you can, it’s limited to only 80 cases. Company: Roughtail […]
Read more "Review: Roughtail Adaptation IPA (Batch #1, 2015)"The latest canned offering from COOP Ale Works, this Double IPA is brewed with Orange Blossom Honey and has been a huge hit with everyone I’ve talked to that has had it. I recently got to try a nitro version of this as well and it really brought that honey sweetness and mouthfeel out more, but to […]
Read more "Review: COOP Alpha Hive Double IPA"Another pickup from our trip to the Anthem brewery, a 32 oz growler of their 3.2 Gose. I love the style, and look forward to trying out Anthem’s take on it. And I mowed the yard in this hellish heat, so I’m hoping this chiller growler is going to help cool me off. I […]
Read more "Review: Anthem Gose"Earlier this week, Justin and I visited Anthem Brewing Company, located in downtown Oklahoma City, to drink some beer, talk about beer, drink some more beer, and talk about Anthem. We hung out with Patrick, President and Brewmaster, and Ben, Anthem’s Brand Ambassador. I had been on a couple of tours of their facilities and […]
Read more "Barrels and Mash Field Trip: Anthem Brewing Company"Until the new laws take over, breweries can only serve 3.2% ABW beers at the site of production. On the upside, many of the local brewers have taken up the challenge and offer 3.2 brews exclusively at their breweries. We have just such a beer today, from the folks at Anthem. They were good enough to sit down […]
