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. It only made sense while I was on the southwest side that I pick up a few brewery only releases to try. I was happy to […]
Read more "COOP ALE WORKS The Dagobah Citra East Coast Double IPA"I ran down to Roughtail last week to pick up a couple of four packs of the newest Adaptation, batch eight in the series of unique IPA offerings. Flaked oats and wheat should contribute to mouthfeel, with Idaho 7, Calypso and Simcoe hops utilized for that fruity juiciness we’ve come to crave from Adaptation. I […]
Read more "Roughtail Adaptation IPA: Batch 008, May 26, 2017"The Barrels and Mash crew had a good time hanging out with the Vanessa House crew at OCBF, and realized we hadn’t reviewed any of their beers yet. I decided on the lactose infused brown ale, 5th Keg. This one was a fan favorite at the last OCBF and these guys have come a long […]
Read more "Vanessa House 5th Keg Brown Ale"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 "Coop Ale Works Cask-It Series: Brandy Barrel Aged DNR With Cherries"Prairie continues its Fruit Funk series with a new entry, Apricot Funk. We saw Cherry Funk last year, and am looking forward to an uncommon apricot brew. Cody from Prairie gave this one to me at no cost, and remarked that the feedback on Cherry Funk was that it was much better with a couple […]
Read more "Prairie Artisan Ales Apricot Funk"Here is our first review from Broken Arrow’s Nothing’s Left Brewing Company. This is their first packaged beer, though they have plenty that has been going around on draft at bars and festivals. They’ve put together an American Pale Ale with one of my favorite hops: Galaxy. The can also features a kangaroo in a […]
Read more "Nothing’s Left Galaxy Pale Ale"It’s the Sunday after the 10th Norman Music Festival and I’m exhausted. After a big brunch of leftover chicken, bacon, and brats from Klemm’s Smoke Haus, Kate and I are settling in for a nice day of lounging around the house while a cold wind is blowing around all the trees outside. This may not […]
Read more "Roughtail Homie Hookup"Roughtail’s second expression from the E-Juice line was canned today and eager drinkers are currently lining up for the brewery-only release so they can go home with some crazy fresh 4-packs. The first E-Juice, an IPA brewed with lactose and raspberries (review here), was delicious so when they announced the second batch it made me […]
Read more "Roughtail E-Juice IPA (Mixed Berry)"Thanks to SB 424, Oklahoma breweries have embraced the crap out of on-prem sales, and it’s awesome. The downside? Lines. God I hate lines. Anyways, a bunch of craft beer nerds headed down to Krebs a while back to camp out for two brewery-only Prairie releases, Okie Paradise and Bromance. Okie Paradise is a blend of, […]
Read more "Prairie Artisan Ales Bromance"I stopped by the 405 Brewery on 4/05 to help them celebrate. They had a delicious and rare keg of barrel aged ESP aged for 18 months in bourbon barrels on peaches (it was excellent but no growler fills) as well as two brand new offerings, an East Coast style IPA and an export stout. This […]
