This is a story about three of the best things: hops, friendship and Oklahoma. 

Vanessa House Beer Co. is five friends who love each other so much that they kept trying to find ways to hang out after college. Where did they land? Let’s brew beer. 

Oklahoma City’s reliance on local craft beer is due in large part to COOP Ale Works’ rapid growth and expansion. COOP currently distributes to four states and brewed approximately 9,500 barrels of beer in 2015. All of which made COOP’s seventh anniversary cause to celebrate; over 1400 people agreed and bought tickets to the party.

A little bird (named Trae) told us that Oak & Ore has 405 Brewing’s Trae P.A. (a Tropical Pale Ale) on tap now. Might just need to swing over and have a pint or two. It’s also being bottled in small batches as well, which is 405’s first foray into bottling their beers.
