Read more "PRAIRIE ARTISAN ALES Prison Rodeo IPA"My lovely cohort Kris saved me a trip to Midwest City and grabbed a few four packs at the release of Adaptation batch 9, though he robbed me of a chance to drink in the taproom!

Read more "BLACK MESA BREWING COMPANY Big Wheel 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.

Read more "Vanessa House Broken Tile Double IPA"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.

Read more "Roughtail E-Juice IPA (Mixed Berry)"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 […]
