The state of Oklahoma and an industry group have partnered to launch a campaign meant to inspire Oklahomans and visitors to explore the state s craft breweries.
The Oklahoma Craft Beer Trail is a project of the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry s agritourism program and the Craft Brewers Association of Oklahoma.
30,000 printed maps of craft breweries with taprooms will be distributed at Oklahoma welcome centers to promote them, according to a news release from ODAFF.
“Our craft beer industry continues to grow in Oklahoma with an economic impact of $700 million a year,” CBAO executive director Tabbi Burwell said in a statement. “As we develop this trail and continue to push for more tourism in taprooms, a craft beer trail only helps put our state on the map after years of pushing for modernization.”
