OKLAHOMA CITY – JULY 6, 2026 – Oklahoma Born & Brewed is celebrating its twelfth year! This annual fundraiser, presented by the Oklahoma Hall of Fame's Second Century young professionals board, will be held Friday, August 14, 6:30-10:00 p.m. The event features breweries from across the state, providing guests with a unique tasting experience "born & brewed" right here in Oklahoma. All proceeds benefit the Oklahoma Hall of Fame's educational and cultural programming, allowing thousands of Oklahomans to have access to free Museum programs.
Attendees to the premier beer tasting event will be able to sample beer from over 10 Oklahoma breweries, including: Angry Scotsman Brewing, Anthem Brewing, Coop Ale Works, Enid Brewing Company, Iron Monk Brewing Company, Legally Brewed, Mountain Fork Brewery, Prairie Artisan Ales, Roughtail Brewing Co., Skydance Brewing, and Stonecloud Brewing Co. Additional breweries are still being confirmed. The evening will also include live music, a silent auction, complimentary valet parking, a photo booth, catered food, and non-alcoholic options.
"We are honored to help celebrate the creativity, craftsmanship, and entrepreneurial spirit that make Oklahoma's brewing community so special," said Bailey Smith Londagin, Vice Chair of Oklahoma Born & Brewed. "Oklahoma Born & Brewed is about more than great local beer; it's about bringing people together to support the Oklahoma Hall of Fame's mission of telling Oklahoma's story and inspiring future generations. Every ticket purchased helps fund educational programs and free family events that connect Oklahomans of all ages to the people and stories that make our state extraordinary."
For the fifth year in a row, a special release beer is being created specifically for the event. Roughtail Brewing Co. and Skydance Brewing are collaborating to make a 2026 edition of "Hops of Fame", the annual Oklahoma Born & Brewed beer. The special brew will feature a label design by local artist Kris Kanaly.
