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 "405 BREWING COMPANY Yeah! Session IPA"I was a little surprised to see COOP trying out a pilsner, I believe this is their first wide lager?

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 "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.
