Notoriously late to clearing up the mess that was Prohibition, the state of Oklahoma never fully ratified the 21st Amendment.
In 1959 the state limited alcohol sale and production to beverages maxing out at 3.2% ABV. It wasn’t until 1984 that Oklahoma allowed “liquor by the drink,” becoming the penultimate state to relent, and it wasn’t until the shockingly late 2010s that brewers beat the 3.2% max law.
Because of this history, recent years have seen a huge upswing in craft breweries throughout the state. Today, the second largest city boasts some great examples of the craft.
