Black mesa brewing1/28/2024 Our hangout with Brad took place at The Patriarch, and we were joined for part of it by Stephen, The Patriarch’s GM. Eventually the two decided to partner up and create Black Mesa. He was obviously into beer so he started knocking on brewery doors for ‘environmental compliance’ reasons and ended up meeting Chris, the master brewer at Huebert Brewing Company. His passion for nature is what brought him to this state as a Wildlife Biologist that was hired on as a consultant by a local environmental compliance agency. This goal, by the way, made me realize I need a cool life mission (unless drinking a bunch of beer and Bourbon counts), so if you have any sweet ideas let me know. A bucket list goal for Brad is to visit the highest point in every state in America, and so far he’s hit about half of them. Louis while they work on securing a property here in OKC to set up their operation (hopefully all that will happen in the next year an a half or so).īlack Mesa Brewing Company is named for the highest point in Oklahoma, which is fairly obvious to most of us native Oklahomans, but what’s cool is its significance to Brad. Black Mesa was one of the many local breweries that was impacted when a dickhead tornado severely damaged the OKCity Brewing Cooperative in May of 2013, forcing them to dump close to 3,000 gallons of beer from the fermenters and find a new place to brew. After evaluating the next move over the summer of 2013, Black Mesa decided to start brewing at O’Fallon Brewery outside of St. Tornadoes are a common talking point in the early stages of these local beer discussions, and our hangout with Brad was no different. The beer passion came across strong when we sat down with Brad from Black Mesa. It’s something I’ve seen in every single person I’ve talked to that is involved in a brewery or distillery, and that just isn’t the case for a lot of the other industries out there. One of the best things about this whole Barrels and Mash gig is getting to talk to people that are completely passionate about what they do.
