Republic of Beer: An Ale of Two Cities
Helen: Coop Zeppelin Wheat, Mustang Washita Wheat, Boulevard Wheat, Ayinger Brauwiess, Sea Dog Blueberry Since I missed last week’s tasting, I decided to try Konig Ludwig Wiessbeir when next I found myself at a bar. I’ll have to give it a full review some other time, but overall it was good. Somewhat following last [...]
Spotlight on The Oklahoma Food Cooperative

The Republic of Beer
Another Monday, another beer review. It’s become a regular thing (and a business expense), so Mondays are now something to look forward to. OKC.NET Executive Editor Colin Newman accompanied us today, as did Helen’s children. Hilarity (and beer) ensued.

To Boldly Go Where No Beer Has Gone Before…
Written by Daniel Page and Helen Grant Helen and I decided talking beer over lunch on Monday was a good idea, so you know what? We did it again, dammit. This time we sat downstairs at the bar at McNellie’s, and we socialized with the bartender and the bar manager while we wrote our opinions [...]
Case of the Mondays: A Beer Review
Mondays are rough. See, you have the whole weekend to do stuff that you (theoretically) enjoy, and then…it ends. That’s it. Back to work. Damn.

Fuck Yeah Cupcakes
Ahhhh, the cupcake. Is there anything better in the dessert realm than a delicious cake in miniature? I think not. And millions of other must agree given the popularity of T.V. shows like “Cupcake Wars” and “D.C. Cupcakes.” Feeding this trend are all the specialty bakeries that have popped up in cities throughout America. There [...]

The Asian District is A Little Saigon, A Little Oklahoma
Between the gold geodesic dome, the giant milk bottle, the distant spires of a neo-gothic church, the giant LED palm trees flickering in the distance, and the cell phone store shaped like a Buddhist Stupa, you could be forgiven for asking “where the hell am I?” The intersection of NW 23rd St. and Classen is [...]
