Producer's Background Prairie Artisan Ales began as a collaboration between brothers Chase and Colin Healey in 2012, blending Chase’s brewing expertise with Colin’s distinctive artistic vision. They partnered with Krebs Brewing Company, the oldest brewery in Oklahoma, which traces its origins back to the 1920s, when founder Pete Prichard served homebrewed “Choc Beer” illegally to coal miners. Today, Prairie Artisan Ales is known for its innovative beers and bold artistic labels, attracting fans worldwide. Operating under Krebs Brewing Company since 2016, Prairie continues the Prichard family’s commitment to unique, high-quality brews.
