International Stout Day activities abound in OKC

The annual International Stout Day is on Thursday, and some of our local bars are delivering with some stout beer lineups. (See what I did there?)

Let's start off with TapWerks, which has planned a fairly jaw-droppingly good series of flights and pints. Like IPA Day in August, TapWerks is rolling out hourly flights, at $12/flight. Here they are:

TapWerks is also offering up a selection of starters, entrees and desserts featuring stout-infused recipes. Really, you can't go wrong.

But let's say you can't make it to TapWerks. Fear not, others are joining in the fun.

-The Patriarch is getting in on the festivities with a variety of stouts promised to be on tap, including a special offerings from Roughtail. Also, the first 24 people to order a stout after 6 p.m. will receive a special glass. The full list of beers is expected to be released on the TapHunter app today (Wednesday).

-Pub W in Oklahoma City and Norman will celebrate Stout Day by featuring a number of brews, including Evil Twin Biscotti Break.
