Coop Ale Works

One of the things that we love doing is featuring our beer with gourmet food.  Beer should no longer be thought of as your “lake” drink, although it is good for that too.  We believe that beer is every bit the intricate beverage that wine is and thus goes great with food.  To this point, we are excited to get the opportunity, from time to time, to partner with local restaurants and offer a Beer Dinner.  A Beer Dinner, in short, is an event where a local restaurant prepares a multi course meal, usually using different beers in the recipes, and then the food is served with a thoughtfully paired glass of beer.  Tonight, we are expecially excited about the meal that Trattoria Il Centro, in downtown OKC, is preparing to pair with our beers.  The menu is as follows:

Classic Cheddar Cheese Soup with a Cheesey Herbed Cruton & Fried Shallots
    Native Amber
 

Chicken Pot Pie “Tratt” Style
    Horny Toad Cerveza
 

Chocolate Glazed Pound Cake with Espresso Creme An Glaise and Coffee infused Porter Affagato (a shot of beer poured over gelato)
    Coffee infused Gran Sport Porter

All of this gloriousness starts at 6:30pm, and luckily for you there are still seats left. Just call (405)601-5858 for more information or to reserve your seat!

Come out and join us for one of the truely unique events that is happening in OKC tonight!

Cheers,

Team COOP

This weekend we had the wonderful opportunity to participate in the 9th Annual Boulder Strong Ale Festival at Avery Brewing Co. The festival featured over 100 beers from breweries across the country. Paticipants of the festival bought tickets that entitled them to enry into the festival, a commemorative tasting glass, and 16 2oz pours of any beer that they desired. All proceeds were given to a local charity.

We were so thankful to be a part of this event! So cheers to Avery Brewing Co. for putting on an excellent event for a great cause! We hope that we can be a part of many more to come.

On not a completely related note, Dave Morris, of www.newsok.com, came by and did the following video last week. It highlights not only the Strong Ale Festival but several exciting things that are looming in our future. So grab a pint, sit back and enjoy, and if you see Dave around town tell him “great job on the video”!

About a month ago Dave Rhea came out and shot this excellent video at our facility.  Everyday we are trying to introduce our product to people who have never heard of it and videos like this do a great service to us.  So grab a pint, sit back and enjoy!

P.S. Check back this weekend as we will be updating you on what is happening at the 9th Annual Boulder Beer Festival!
