The editorial take
The beer is the reason to sit down. Five house core brews pour at 5.50 each — Old King Kölsch, Bluesberry Ale, Wiley's Blood Orange Wheat, Millie McFadden's Red Rye Ale, and Bar Hop Hazy IPA — with 5-10 limited releases and seasonals a year, guest taps from neighboring breweries, and six-packs or 32oz and 64oz growlers to go. Nine craft cocktails lean on Grey Goose, Woodford Reserve, and Patrón Silver, and the Bourbon Mint Lemonade comes as a 4.95 mocktail.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Bar Hop Hazy IPA, a New England-style IPA at 6.5% ABV built on Amarillo and Centennial hops and dry-hopped with El Dorado and Mosaic. If you want something lighter, Old King Kölsch is a 4.8% Bavarian-style ale, light gold and hazy with a low hop profile. For a spirit-forward pour, the Old Fashioned uses Woodford Reserve, Angostura bitters, an orange twist, and a Luxardo cherry.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Beer drinkers who want to compare a brewery's own core lineup rather than pick from a generic tap wall, including anyone who would rather take home a six-pack of Old King Kölsch, Bluesberry Ale, or Wiley's Blood Orange Wheat cans or fill a growler. Cocktail drinkers who want branded spirits in familiar builds will find a full page of them.
- When should I go?
- A brewery visit works as a meal stop or a tasting of the five house core brews side by side.
- What should I expect to spend?
- House core beers are 5.50 each, and the by-the-glass wines run 7.00 to 9.00. Craft cocktails sit mostly between 8.75 and 11.95, with the mocktail version of the Bourbon Mint Lemonade at 4.95 and other mocktails at 5.95.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Bricktown Brewery was issued the first license to make and sell craft beer in Oklahoma since prohibition, and the operation has since expanded into Arkansas, Kansas, and Missouri. The brewery keeps five year-round beers in production, adds 5-10 limited releases and seasonals a year, and supplements its own taps with beers from neighboring breweries.
