405 BREWING COMPANY Yeah! Session IPA

405 recently hosted a four course beer dinner at The Abner in Norman, and while I wasn’t able to attend, I caught the tail end of it while hosting Bring Your Own Vinyl Night. The dinner sounded amazing with ceviche paired with 405’s Lime Tart and barbacoa stuffed peppers were paired with the newest release […]

405 Brewing Company BA ESP

I had a chance to try this beer at an event last year, having been aged on peaches for a mere six months, and found it delicious. It turns out that they kept a barrel from last year, and now this vintage has been simmering in there for 18 months. Aged on a mess of […]

405 BREWING COMPANY BLUEPRINT Foreign Export Stout

Here’s another offering from 405 Brewing that I picked up at their 04/05 celebration. It’s Blueprint, a foreign export stout and a brew that I have not had before from 405. Apparently named Blueprint because it was originally brewed while listening to Jay-Z. 99 problems but a pitch ain’t one? Company: 405 Brewing Company Location: […]

Summers in Oklahoma are hot as balls. That’s why we all need delicious, refreshing beers and summer-y cocktails to cool us down and take the edge off. Trae and Jonathan down at 405 Brewing Co. in Norman are attempting to aid in that battle with the heat by releasing “Cool For the Summer”, a “simple […]

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 […]

Review: 405 FDR (2016)

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 […]

Review: 405 Manly Barley Wine Ale

Brewed for a pint night at Abner’s to celebrate the end of ‘No Shave November’, 405’s Manly Barley Wine depicts a man progressing from a clean shaven dude to a full on grizzly bear. I always love to see what the next 405 label will look like, always super simple and normally pretty damn funny. This […]

Review: 405 Brewing Company ESP

Great! A peach fruit tart ale 750 for under $10? I’m on board. I love that 405 is brewing interesting and tasty beers and managing to keep the price low. When there are $12 12 oz bottles on the shelf it’s nice to see a local 750 ml option for $9 or less. I never […]
