Heck yeah a barrel aged quad from Anthem, and aged in used Festivus barrels, no less. I was uplifted by the inspirational words about the “Domestique,” the team player who only cares about the benefit of the group, and also uplifted by this boozy 10% ABV gem.

Read more "Review: Anthem Domestique"COOP Ale Works has been producing some great Oklahoma beer for years now.
