After sharing their different and experimental variations of saisons working as gypsy brewers, brothers Chase and Colin Healey decided it was time to have a brewery of their own. They raised more than $20,000 on Kickstarter with the help of fans and formed Prairie Artisan Ales in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2012. Chase Healey grabbed the brewhouse while his brother is the talent behind the fun, funky branding, and logo design. Together, they brought a unique perspective to brewing — especially big bold barrel aged stouts and super crisp and funky farmhouse ales. Today, Peaks & Pints presents an in-house flight of Prairie Artisan Ales beers — a flight we’re calling Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Prairie Bombs and Pumpkin Pie.
Peaks and Pints Beer Flight: Prairie Bombs and Pumpkin Pie
Prairie Pumpkin Pie Treat
5.5% ABV.
Pumpkin Kerfuffle is one of the first “imperial” or “pastry” or “high ABV” sour ales that Prairie did back in 2021. Pumpkin Pie Treat sour ale plays off Kerfuffle with pumpkin pie spice blend and toasted marshmallow flavor. It’s like a tart, liquid, pumpkin pie.
Prairie Bomb!
13% ABV
Prairie Artisan Ales’ Bomb! is an imperial stout aged on Nordaggio’s espresso beans, chocolate, vanilla beans, and ancho chile peppers. It hits the nose with cocoa, vanilla, coffee, chili peppers, and roast. Taste is sweet, chocolate, vanilla, warming chili, coffee initially subtle but comes through much more as it warms, roast malts, and at 13 percent the alcohol is well integrated. It’s dangerously easy to drink.
Prairie Christmas Bomb!
13% ABV
Their famous Prairie Bomb with added Christmas spices.
Prairie Barrel Aged Christmas Bomb
13% ABV
Their famous Prairie Bomb with added Christmas spices and aged in bourbon barrels for a delightful mix of ginger, bourbon, cacao, spices and pepper.
