Bricktown Brewery taps Noonan’s Iris Red Lager Bricktown taps another brew
OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. — March 15th, 2017 - Bricktown Brewery will tap its latest craft beer, Noonan’s Irish Red Lager on March 15th. “This beer is brewed as a lager which imparts a fuller body and more complex flavors,” said Buck Warfield, President of Bricktown Brewery. “It’s a rich, amber colored beer that will feature smooth maltiness. The caramel malts give the beer a hint of buttered toast and roasted grain.” Warfield said his brew team is using a combination of old world hops, Columbus, Fuggles and Tettenger, which give the beer an herbal and floral aroma and flavor. Bricktown brews its own award-winning craft beers, which are ever-changing. Noonan’s Irish Red Lager joins Single- String Stout, Old King Kolsch, Wiley’s One-Eyed Wheat and Bluesberry Ale in the line-up of Bricktown Brewery beers. Bricktown Brewery has four restaurants in the Oklahoma City area, including restaurants in Bricktown, Shawnee, Remington Park and now on 2nd Street in Edmond. For more information, visit bricktownbrewery.com and like us on Facebook at BricktownBreweryOKC, BricktownBreweryShawnee, BricktownBreweryRP and BricktownBrewery2ndStreet.
ABOUT BRICKTOWN BREWERY & RESTAURANTS Bricktown Brewery & Restaurants is Oklahoma’s first brewpub and was the first restaurant to brew craft beer. The company opened its first restaurant in 1992 and now operates 12 restaurants in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Kansas and Texas. In addition to award-winning craft beers, the restaurants offers shareable plates, crafted burgers, sandwiches, artisanal pizza (in select restaurants), salads, big plates and Twisted Comfort Foods. Each restaurant has various hours, menu offerings and Facebook pages. For more information, visit www.BricktownBrewery.com

Five ways
to have fun this weekend
In theaters this weekend is the new “Tomb Raider” rated PG-13 an adaptation of the rebooted game franchise starring Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander in the titular role of a daughter off in search of her missing adventurer father on a remote island; and “Love, Simon” rated PG-13 and based on the bestselling novel, “Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda” about Simon Spier, a closeted gay high schooler who is forced to balance his friends, family and the blackmailer threatening to out him to the entire school.
2.
If you have a big sports fan in the house, you might not see him or her too much this weekend — March Madness kicks into gear Thursday, and there are a plethora of games scheduled through the weekend. First-round games are Thursday and Friday, and the second round takes place Saturday and Sunday. For schedules, brackets and more, check out www.ncaa.com.
3.
Saturday is St. Patrick’s Day, so this whole weekend will be about celebrating it. If you’re a beer fan, head to your favorite pub (an Irish-themed one works well, of course) for some Guinness or Harp or another Irish favorite. You can also try some Irish food, or make your own at home. An easy dinner would be corned beef and cabbage and champ. Many towns hold parades and other special events for St. Patrick’s Day, so check the newspaper for listings.
4.
You might not want to give up meat entirely, but why not try it for a day? Monday is the first day of spring and you can celebrate it by making it a Meatless Monday for The Great American Meatout. To find out how many animals a plant-based diet can save, check out https://meatout.org/our-impact/
5. What’s better than chocolate? Chocolate mixed with caramel! Monday is also National Chocolate Caramel Day and to celebrate make your favorite chocolate and caramel cookie, candy bar or cupcake. Wondering who came up with the combination? It’s said that Milton Hershey began his career at a caramel company and was looking for ways to improve caramel candy. His first product was a chocolate-covered caramel. — More Content Now
