fortunately we have a couple or three local brewers here in the Oklahoma City area that are doing well. One is Bricktown Brewery another is Choc beer (Choc I think for Choctaw). Choc beer actually was popular during prohibition from what I've heard.

In KC we have Boulevard Brewing, the second largest brewery in the state of Mo. Their annual production probably equals one batch of Auggie's rice beer. Pretty Good Pale Ale.

My daughter waitresses in a place owned by an outfit that has a micro brew, 75th Street Brewery. Also decent.

But when I can I drive over to a local pizza place that has a draft micro brew, available only in barrels, called Katy Trail Ale. Most excellent brew. Body, good hops bite and balance, good grainy malt. (I drink it even tho its made in Columbia MO.) I sometimes forget to buy the pizza and just have some of the Ale.

The wonderful point is that in the age of micro brews I can have a quality beer locally available and never be reduced to buying aluminum cans or foreign beers that have spent 6 months in a hot warehouse.
