CRBC is a treat. Wonderful, positive team, a great vision and emphasis on community, a nice welcoming space, and oh yes the beer.
We tried all the beer. I liked the variety of styles- it showed great range and curiosity, which was fun to see. Not only did that mean that there was something for everyone, but it's clear they've got drive - there's an engine for innovation here that may well produce a major breakthrough. I'll be excited to see what they do.
My favorite of the 10 we sampled was the whiskey barrel-aged CH150, dark and rich with a deep and complex flavor. Perfect for winter.
There's no food yet, but they have menus from the pizza place and within minutes our order arrived. I honestly would not have noticed the difference if I hadn't called it in.
One of the members of our group did not drink alcohol, but they had options for him as well- including a house-made root beer that is apparently so popular they keep running out.
They also stock Oklahoma wines which was honestly not bad - the Tempranillo was probably better than anything I've had from other states in the region. Well done there.
CRBC has a great emphasis on community - they were resetting the room after morning yoga when we walked in, host regular live music, and apparently bingo is quite popular.
What I like most about this place is that it represents hope. There's a sense of possibility that exists here - and that was before we'd even sampled any of the product. Holly and the rest of the team radiate positivity and are dedicated to building and contributing to the community. That's refreshing and exciting for the town. And it's going to be up to the community to support their efforts so they can keep building and making those breakthroughs. I hope that they do.
I'm excited to see it happen and look forward to visiting again. read more
