The first edition of Shiny Things showcases the newer hop varietals coming out of Germany with generous additions of Huell Melon, Mandarina Bavaria, and Hallertau Blanc.

We’re super excited to announce a new Flagship at Steel & Oak, Roselle Wheat Ale! At S&O we’re known for doing quite a few German-style beers, yet we’ve never had a year-round Hefeweizen.

I’m going to try and start doing a better job of posting about individual beers we make. To give you an idea of the background that went into developing beers and just an overall idea of what has gone on behind the scenes to create them. So here we go!
I’m sitting here at 8PM on International Women’s Day trying to figure out what to write. Truth be told I was sitting at 8PM last night and 10AM this morning and then again at 6PM trying to figure out how to put on paper (or internet fake paper) how much
Next time you’re by you may notice a new (less attractive) sign outside of Steel & Oak. While our wonderful Tasting Room staff are prepped to answer any questions you may have I still feel like it’s important for me to share with you what the deal is. Really because it
