You know what’s good? A whiskey. You know what’s better? Three whiskeys! Pub W just rolled out their April whiskey flight and they were nice enough to invite us to help out with writing the tasting notes (the official sheet with our notes are at the bottom of this post). So last Monday we snagged a […]
Read more "The Jack Daniels flight at Pub W"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 […]
Read more "Anthem Bourbon Barrel Uroburos Batch 1 and Batch 2 Vertical"Next Thursday, April 7th, marks repeal day here in Oklahoma. It’s crazy to think that Prohibition lasted until 1959 in this state, and on the 57th anniversary of that great day there will be some cool things going down at Oak & Ore in the Plaza district. The Craft Brewers Association of Oklahoma will be […]
Read more "Repeal Day with The CBAO at Oak & Ore"Flights are a glorious thing (whiskey, beer, it’s all good). They’re a great way to sample multiple beverages without spending too much money and leaving too drunk (although that depends on how many flights you get, I guess). So when we heard that Pub W was starting a monthly whiskey flight we had to see what […]
Read more "Barrels and Mash Field Trip: Whiskey Flights at Pub W"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 […]
Read more "Review: Dead Armadillo Inland Porter"Saturday was a fun day. We started it off by hitting the morning session at COOP Ale Work’s 7th Anniversary party. We drank some tiny beers, ate some Kaiteki Ramen, and talked to some good people. Then it was Tulsa time. Travis, owner and brewer at Nothing’s Left Brewing Co., was nice enough to invite us […]
Read more "Barrels and Mash Field Trip: Nothing’s Left Beer Tasting"Trae was kind enough to drop off a pre-release bottle of the new batch of FDR for personal consumption, but I decided to just review it in time for the release this week. An interesting brew, they added coffee directly into the boil. I’ve had the opportunity to sample FDR on a few occasions over […]
Read more "Review: 405 FDR (2016)"Willows Family returns with another bizarre label and another bizarre and undefinable beer. An intriguing mixture of coffee and farmhouse, this promises to be something new. I can only hope that I don’t see nothing wrong with a little Bump N’ Grind… Company: Willows Family Ales Location: Tulsa, OK ABV: 8% Style/Description: Farmhouse Ale with […]
Read more "Review: Willows Family Ales Bump N’ Grind"Kate and I were out of town for Valentine’s Day last weekend, so we are celebrating it a week late and I decided it would be fun to start off the festivities with a line up of Dry Hopped Sour Ales. Prairie’s Funky Gold Simcoe (FGS) just came out a couple of days ago, then […]
Read more "Dry Hopped Sour Showdown"Ah things from whiskey barrels, those barrels really do make everything better. After the Barrels and Mash team had a meeting to go over the first official event we will be a part of (tease, tease, details will come later), we decided it would be fun to crack some Anthems and discuss future ventures. Justin, […]
