In 2012, Chase Healey and his brother, Colin, opened Prairie Artisan Ales in Krebs, Oklahoma, in collaboration with century-old local institution Krebs Brewing, makers of Choc Beer. Chase brewed and Colin created Prairie’s colorful, cartoonish label art. Prairie Bomb became influential in the trend toward big, adjunct-laden imperial stouts. Chase sold Prairie to Krebs and went on to open his dream/side project with his wife, Erica, in Tulsa: American Solera. The Healeys’ plan involved coolship beers, mixed fermentation, and barrel aging. RateBeer users named American Solera the country’s best new brewery and second-best new brewery in the world in 2016, the year they opened. American Solera was named James Beard Foundation Outstanding Bar 2023 Semifinalist. Today, Peaks & Pints presents a flight of American Solera beer — a flight we’re calling Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: American Solera.
Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: American Solera
American Solera Banana Berry Boom Boom
8% ABV
This smoothie sour is brewed banana, coconut, blueberry donuts, milk sugar, marshmallow, lime, vanilla, and sea salt.
American Solera Wolf Treatz
6% ABV
Hazy IPA dry hopped with Citra Cryo, Strata, and Mosaic. It hits the nose with citrus, mango, guava and dankness, followed by notes of guava, passionfruit, lime, green melon and grapefruit with a grapefruit, pineapple, and green melon finish.
American Solera The New Matrix
7% ABV
The New Matrix is a double dry hopped hazy IPA brewed with Galaxy, Enigma, and Vic Secret for notes of candied fruit, orange, and lychee. The cool can art by Joe Cappa features the Twins, henchmen of the Merovingian, who are “Exiles”, or rogue programs that have chosen to hide in the Matrix rather than face deletion, plus a mini henchman that resembles the Twins.
American Solera Raspberry Whoops
8% ABV
An imperial milkshake IPA brewed with raspberries, oats, and milk sugar for a cross between a sour and milkshake IPA — light tartness from the raspberries then sweet kicks in with vanilla.
American Solera We’re On A Roll
14% ABV
Thick, syrupy barleywine style-ale aged 36 months in Buffalo Trace Bourbon barrels with cinnamon rolls, cinnamon, and vanilla for big maple, cinnamon and booze notes.
