Stonecloud Brewing Company

Stonecloud is one of my go-to breweries in OKC. I can always rely on them to have at least one or two tasty IPAs on tap. Their location on the west side, inside the old Sunshine Laundry/Cleaner building, is very tastefully done, and certainly a nod to historic preservation. The lit historic rooftop neon sign is testimony to this. My heart skips a beat or two each time I see that gorgeous sign. I was surprised on a recent Friday night to find the place practically empty. In fact, there was only one car parked out front, which caused me to get out quickly to check the hours of operation on the door. Turns out I just found them at a quiet moment. That said, I was able to engage in great convo with the bartender, who gave me his insights into the beers. I started with a slender glass of Queen of Slams, an Imperial DIPA (8% ABV). This looked and tasted a lot like a mimosa, but was all beer. Delightful! Brunch, anyone? Next on tap was Mellow, a Cold IPA (7% ABV), which I found to be a very solid rendition of this recent trend among brewers. Cold IPAs have a distinctive taste that is hard to pin down, but you know it when you taste it. Maybe it is the somewhat malty finish. In any regard, I highly recommend this one. My bartender (whom I had for 1-on-1 convo after the last people left) then gave me a sampler of Desk Pop, a Triple IPA (15.6% ABV), which was tasty, but I knew I could never hoist a pint or two of these and be able to drive. Sip slowly and get a short pour. Lastly, said bartender offered a sample of PHOever Yum, a delightfully tasty sour (only 4.3% ABV). It was a great hour and a half here, and I strongly encourage OKC beer travelers to give Stonecloud a try. This is among the best there is in town.

Lovely brewery with a few non alcoholic canned options. They had a community art station where you could choose drawings and take a bucket of colored pencils and color while you hungout. There were also many board games and a lounge area with a pool table and peek into the brewing area. Lots of little plants and woodwork. Nice vibes. They also have branded merchandise for sale (shirts, clothes mostly). There is a giant colorful mural on the neighboring building you see from the parking lot. The parking lot is mostly covered.

Our team had an absolute blast at the Lager Lounge! Trey and Tatum were incredible hosts who went above and beyond to ensure our event went off without a hitch. From their warm, friendly demeanor to their impressive attention to detail, we couldn't have asked for better service. The beer selection was fantastic. With so many unique and delicious options on tap and in cans, we were all able to find something we loved. Needless to say, we'll definitely be recommending the Lager Lounge at Stonecloud Brewing to everyone looking for a great spot to host an event. If you're a fan of cold brews and good vibes, you won't be disappointed!
