So now that the holiday season is over, it’s time to celebrate the only real winter holiday….COOP’s 3rd Anniversary Party.  This year we have the wonderful opportunity to partner with Wishing Well, a local non-profit.  Unlike last year, tickets will not be required for entry.  This year we will have a suggested donation of $5 to Wishing Well at the door.  The party will be this Saturday, January 14th and the session times are as follows:

11am-2pm

3pm-6pm

7pm-10pm

We’ll have several surprises in store for each session, so be sure to keep your eyes open for hourly special releases.  We’ll have snacks by The Wedge and DJ J2O will be spinning tunes all day and night.  Also, remember that we can’t fit the entire city in our building, so we will be admitting people on a “first come, first serve” basis.  Once we reach capacity, we will let people in on a “one in, one out” basis.

We apologize for the late notice, but we’ve been working with the ABLE Commission to make this event hiccup-free.  We hope to see all of your lovely faces on Saturday.

Cheers,

Team COOP

Unfortunately, here at COOP Ale Works we’re not supportive of New Year’s Resolutions that limit one’s beer and cheese intake.  So if you are one of the sane individuals who chose to not make this part or your resolution we hope that you will check out our Beer and Cheese tasting at Epicurean’s Cafe in Edmond.

Cheers,

We get to participate in beer festivals on a regular basis and each is unique in its own way.  However, this year we are especially proud to announce that we will be participating in the third annual CanFest in Reno, Nevada.  You may at this point be asking yourself what in the (insert colorful adjectival noun) is CanFest?  Well, CanFest is the culmination and celebration of everything that is right in the world – beer in cans!  Not just any beer in cans, beer from 30 of the best breweries in the country, including your very own COOP Ale Works.  The festival will include awards for the quality of the beer and for the quality of the can design.  So, if you know anybody that lives in, or is going to be in, the Reno area November 11-12, tell them to come see us and nearly 30 other great breweries at CanFest!

Though most of you, in the last few weeks, have been saying naughty words with regards to the wind, we here at COOP love wind.  Mostly because we were one of the very first local businesses to enroll in the OG&E Wind Power Program.  This is something that we are very proud of, as you may have seen on one of our cans.

All of this is why we are proud to take part in a case study that OG&E is putting on in an effort to promote their Wind Power Program.  If you go to the OG&E website you can watch a video that was shot right here in the brewery and features COOP co-founder JD Merryweather.  Also, if you pick up a copy of the Oklahoma Gazette you will find a full page advertisement featuring our involvement in the OG&E Wind Power Program. 

Our involvment in this program is just one of the many ways we practice sustainable business.  As we grow, we want you, our valued customer, to know that sustainable business practices will always be front and center at COOP Ale Works.

Cheers,

So Yesterday a woman calls the brewery and leaves a message asking where she can find our beer. This happens often enough so I call her back and she answers the phone “such and such wine and spirits”.  Ok so it’s a liquor store, this also happens often enough. I tell her who I am and she tells me that someone came into her store, set down a can of Native Amber and asked her where he can get it.  So I start in telling her about the distributors that we work with and she stops me and says “I’m in Ohio.”  Oh… well then you can’t get our beer.  She then emphatically states that when we arrive in Ohio she will do whatever she can to make sure we succeed!

Sometimes the beer community just blows me away!

Find a COOP and enjoy your weekend!

Cheers,

Republic Gastropub has been an excellent supporter of the Craft Beer Industry and we are proud to join them this Sunday, April 10, to celebrate their one year anniversary!  We have the opportunity to work with many restaurants and bars across the state and Republic’s dedication to quality food, service, and beer is second to no one.  So come out and see us, we’ll have our own tent and almost all of our beers will be pouring, including our Territorial Reserve Oak-Aged Imperial Stout and perhaps a beer that you have never seen or tried…..

To partially plagiarize Hunter S. Thompson, “Good beer brings good people together!”  So, Sunday, 12pm, Republic Gastropub, be there of be…… well you get the idea.

Cheers,

Team COOP

We are proud to announce that this Sunday, April 3, we will be hosting a fundraiser for the High Performance Center Athletes.  The event will start at 6pm and it will finsih at 9pm.  A $5 donation will be requested upon entry.  Donations will help support the athletes training and competition schedules, which will hopefully allow every single one of them to find themselves in London in 2012.  Once inside the brewery there will be plenty of beer and Olympic Athletes for you to chat up!  We are very excited for the opportunity to support the Olympic Athletes that we have residing and training right here in OKC and we hope that you will join us Sunday night!
