OKC Jan 6-9

Well, there’s no OK forum, so here goes. I’ll be in Oklahoma City the first weekend in January, trying to rate a total of 100 or more OK-brewed beers (I need 29). If anyone would like to meet somewhere for a beer, just message me.

Looks like there’s a fair amount of beery places in OKC compared to when I lived there in 1999. But I’m also wondering if folks think it’s worth a drive to Tulsa (and probably spending the night) to check out Prairie, American Solera and Marshall.

Tulsa is not that far, right? Day trip?

It’s been a long time since I’ve been up there, but I remember OKC having better beer, but Tulsa being a nicer city. OKC always looked like nothing had been painted since the 70’s!!

There is a bar in bricktown where you should be able to get many of those rates that you need. I can only imagine that you may have already had most of what Prairie has to offer because of their wide distribution. I’m not sure if Solera has a whole lot out yet as they focus on sours, I think. I would make the drive though. Don’t forget about COOP Ale Works and Choc beers though. There should be plenty between the two if you have never had the to get you close to half way of what is needed.

You might also wish to set aside some time to scout out the rural areas and do some meth with the locals.

Travl plans are solidifying:

Friday Jan 6: Anthem, Battered Boar, Roughtail, Mustang
Sat Jan 7: Tulsa, Prairie (both locations) & Marshall
Sun Jan8: Twisted Spike, Bricktown, Tapwerks, ?Royal Bavaria

Belle Isle, 51st St Speakeasy and Republic Gastropub are reasonably close to my hotel (which has a shuttle to take me around) so I’ll hit those some evening if I still have the stamina.
