Join Amanda and me as we explore the vibrant beer scene of Norman, Oklahoma, in our latest adventure on the Norman Ale Trail! In this episode, we visit every brewery in Norman, starting with a special collaboration at Legally Brewed with the Beer Babes Family to create a unique golden stout. Discover the process of brewing, from heating the water to the magic of fermentation, while enjoying a variety of creative beers. From a glittery disco lemonade sour to the award-winning American fiber liner and the dangerously delightful lavender elderflower hard seltzer, there’s a brew for every taste.
Amanda, a local beer expert, shares her insights on the best beers Norman has to offer, including special brews like the medieval-inspired honey oak ale and the creamy, sessionable dry Irish stout. At the second spot at 405 Brewing’s new downtown location, they dive into the Jazz series, blending beers to create the perfect mix of flavors, including the standout Interdimensional Jazz Magic.
Next, we visit BIG Brewing Co, where long-time friends Justin and Eric share their journey from garage brewers to owning a beloved local brewery, showcasing their passion for traditional styles, hazies, and innovative hops.
The adventure continues at Lazy Circles Brewing, where the atmosphere is as relaxed as the name suggests. Here, they sample a range of beers that celebrate the spirit of Norman, including the popular lager and the creatively brewed specialty IPAs. The laid-back vibe and community feel make it a must-visit spot on the trail.
Finally, they head to Campus Corner to visit Crossed Cannons, a brewery with a patriotic theme and a lineup of robust, flavorful beers. From their flagship American Pale Ale to their richly flavored stouts, Crossed Cannons offers a diverse selection that pays homage to American brewing traditions. The brewery’s dedication to quality and innovation is evident in every sip.
