I start with the whole grain instead of extract. Especially the beer, I start with the grain and do it. “I just like to have something I made and I know what’s in it. There were many different types and kinds of beers and ciders to try that the homebrewers also brought in to share as well. Attendees were also able to take a VIP brewery tour, enjoy beer samples, and meet Roughtail brewers and staff. The Rally offered attendees the opportunity to take home five gallons of unfermented beer for AHA members to ferment at home. A lot of our local breweries, I know for a fact that Tony and Blaine here at Roughtail started as homebrewers so it’s a lot of fun to watch them go from brewing small 5 gallon batches to this in the last 5-6 years.” We all kind of know each other anyway but it’s just a good time to hang out together. “We have the Oklahoma City club, the Stillwater club and the Tulsa club that are all here today. There are lots of local clubs.” Said Brandon Jones, who is a part of the Red Earth Brewers group and also helped coordinate the event. “It’s much more popular than people realize, but it’s also a very tight knit community. Their passion for homebrewing was contagious and their camaraderie with one another was very obvious. Not only were the beers delightful, but the people were warm, friendly and inviting. I had the pleasure of interviewing and mingling with the crowd during the event, as well as trying some of the delicious brews they had available including a red Jameson beer, a mango pineapple cider and my personal favorite a chocolate cocoa stout that was divine.
