Marshall Brewing

Oklahoma is not just Sooner Country. It is also becoming Craft Beer Country! Marshall Brewing has an impressive beer list. with McNellie’s leading my list.
McNELLIE’S PUB ALE
Inspired by the house ales found in the pubs of Great Britain and Ireland, McNellie’s Pub Ale is a traditional ale brewed in the style of a Best Bitter. Various maltings of two-row barley are joined with American Glacier hops to give this beer its color, complexity, and a bit of a New World twist. The Old World character present in this ale is largely influenced by its yeast, which originates in the port city of Hull, East Yorkshire, England. McNellie’s Pub Ale pairs excellent with fish & chips (of course), Roast Beef, Steak, Pork, Grilled Chicken, and Barbeque. ABV – 5.0%

Snuggie

Finally, you can have a beer and stay warm. You will have to visit the 5th Quadrant in Portland to get one and it’s only in “proletariat” red but finally we beer geeks can be snuggie geeks too.

Barrel aged IPA from Great Divide

Great Divide 16th Anniversary Wood Aged Double IPA
“Based on our most award-winning beer, Denver Pale Ale, this copper-hued treat is a celebration of everything Great Divide does best. Plenty of malty sweetness provides a backdrop for earthy English and American hops, while French and American oak round off the edges and provide a touch of vanilla.”

New Holland is one of the breweries that I needed to sample or visit or both. That was before the cellar series. Now it is moving up the list.

new from Cascade Brewing

Cascade Brewing Logo 7-1 [Converted]

I am a big fan of the unique beers from Cascade. And it is cool that they are having a new location to serve them from. This new one sounds way cool.
“We’re really excited about our offering for this year’s festival: Frite Galois is a light farmhouse ale aged for three months in white port barrels. It has a nice clean sourness with a crispy, lovely nose. It is really bright, and has some influence from the Noyeaux, previously aged in the same barrels.”
