Wild beer can't be tamed It wasn’t that long ago that Oklahoma was past the boundaries of civilization. Cowboys, gunfights and the Wild West, it’s the stuff of legend and a big part of who this country is. And now there’s a brewery capturing that spirit and bottling it — Mustang Brewing Company. Located in Oklahoma City, Mustang Brewing was founded in 2008 in the way of all great adventures — with handwork and a dream. And they’ve earned every bit of their success, largely because their beers are amazing. Stop into their taproom and order up a pint of...

Old-fashioned charm. Weston, Missouri is a charming piece of Americana. Located about an hour north of Kansas City, it has the kind of quaint charm that would be right at home in a Norman Rockwell painting. But one weekend of year, it puts aside its small town charm and becomes a happening spot frequented by beer lovers from all over the area - of course I mean the Irish Festival.

Stop by and grab a flightof their five year-round beers or...

As a result, college towns tend to take on a special kind of culture that mimics this optimism and growth. And because of this culture, special businesses crop up representing it in physical form. In Columbia, Missouri, home of the University of Missouri, Broadway Brewery & Restaurant is just that type of place. A favorite with the college crowd, out of town visitors and townies alike, Broadway Brewing, located right in the heart of town, has a rotating lineup of brews...

A match made in (dog) heaven. You probably know that all dogs go to heaven. And when they get there, they frolic in an amazing dog park filled with tennis balls to chase, fire hydrants to sniff, and all the Beer Paws they can eat. And while these angelic canines are frolicking in paradise, what are their parents doing? I’d like to think they’re kicking back with some good brews, like the kind made at Happy Basset Brewing Company. You can imagine how thrilled we were at Beer Paws to partner up with this Topeka-based brewery. After all, they love...
