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.”

The Craft Brewers Association of Oklahoma (CBAO) launched their website today in partnership with OKC-based firm, Friday Studio. The new website will offer a clean, modern design, easy navigation and helpful tools and resources for members of the association, craft beer fans and those looking to explore the state’s craft beer scene.
When navigating to the new site, you’ll quickly be greeted with great graphics, video and photos from some of the state’s best breweries. You’ll also find a list of our members including Allied and Breweries as well as a statewide map to help guide you across the state in effort to try each brewery for yourself. You’ll also find event information and online registration, blog content where we’ll keep up to date with important craft beer news, an email signup form as well as information on how to join the association or make a donation. Breweries also have the ability to offer deals on the website, which can change daily.
